on a turbo setup how good is our factory valve train good to rev up to? or is it just way more benefical to go to a turbo cam

 

well, the balance shafts and valve springs will kind of ,imit your max RPM to around 7000RPMs, maybe a little more. Your cam profile will also limit power gained to around 6800RPMs. power starts dropping off very fast after 6100RPMs with the stock cams

 

so in order to rev up at all to make power at 7000 i need some headwork.... screw my 07

 

^^ its not a honda dude... make your power down low like you're supposed to. ectocs are known for torque, not high revs

 

The valve train is good till 7000rpm so upgrade the valve springs and all that. So if you keep it around 6800rpm it should be good. Neutral balance shafts will allow you to rev up to 8000rpm after you upgrade the valve train. You have an American car not Japanese. Our cars aren't making power like a Honda does at 8000rpm

 

Mine is set to 7100 RPM Running like a champ!!

with no internals

 

same here. have been for about 10k miles

 

so really whats our factory cams good for, just 6100 rpms like mentioned above?

 

i have the 272 regrind cams in my LSJ.... with supertech dual coil valve springs, and nuetral balance shafts from GM... my car is good at 8,000RPMs.... dont know if that helps you guys at all..

 

ok lets say if i upgraded my valvesprings and put oversized valves in would it be good up to like 6500rpms on factory cams, im just trying to get as much flow as can with the turbo

 

have you talked to a shop about doing the head work for you cuz it gets expensive... i put my own valve springs in cuz a shop wanted over 300 just to put them in... but if you want to put over sized valves in your gonna have to pay them to bore out your ports

 

my family owns a performance machine shop, not so much worried about that, ill prolly get a port and polish job done as well. the only thing id have to pay for would be is the bits if they break

 

wow thats great.. go for it!

 

You are thinking too much about parts and not enough about results. As mentioned, this isn't a honda.

Acceleration comes from torque, not horsepower. Yes, you make more horsepower at higher RPM's, but you should be caring about torque. The stock cam torque curve is between 3000-5500 RPM, so if you are staying with stock cams, your don't have to do a damn thing to your valve train. Now if you change cams, your have to consider the new torque curve for those cams, and then plan accordingly.
