wouldn't you lose more bottom end the more aggressive you go without remapping your RPM range?

You have to take the good w/ the bad... Remember, engines tend to be inverse in operation.. The more low end you want, the more top end you sacrifice, and vice versa...


What RPM range do you normally drive in?? What do you plan on doing w/ your car, AutoX, Road Race, Drag Race, Street fighter?? Do you want to build a 600hp monster, or a 375hp reliably fun driver??

Buy one?? j/k


I don't know for sure, but you'd definitely need something along the lines of a Power Adder (turbo, S/C, Nitrous) to get there.. Or a lot of engine work.. I mean A LOT..

Stage 1s will sound disappointing for those who want the muscle car lope. When mine start to bump the car will shake a bit and you can hear them. But you will need a good stge 2 to start to get the aggressive rumble.

Your power curve will swing upward, stage 1s dont have any effect (other than loosing low end tq) until about 3K and the higher the stage cam the higher the power curve. I would like to get some stage 2 blower cams someday as i want the lope as well.

you should hear the cam in my buddy's 72 nova... it makes these mustang cam videos i've seen seem like nothing lol

are there any cams that go good with a blower and N/A? or would it be reccomended that I get one or the other for the application?

IIRC, a cam w/ a longer duration is better for N/A, vs. a Cam w/ higher lift is better for FI...


In either case though, the cams for Nitrous/Blowers are designed w/ the best power curve w/ the set up you have..


I believe though, that just about any aftermarket "Staged," cam will help out immensely w/ any type of FI.. Air in, Power out..
