VT Stage 2 N/A Cams Questions
I plan on going with a Kenne Bell down the road and I was wondering if the N/A cams will work just fine now and with theS/C? Im aware Ill need new valvesprings but I was also wondering how much for the install would be for Cams plus new valve springs? Would I need a dyno tune as well with the new Cams? Thanks for any help guys.

RE: VT Stage 2 N/A Cams Questions
Hey Code I read in some other post that the N/A cams will work fine with blower applications, is that not true? I also read the blower cams in a car without the blower runs like ****. Which if any of these questions is accurate?

RE: VT Stage 2 N/A Cams Questions
I have VT stage II blower cams on now, and a KB sitting in my garage.....believe me, if you're getting a blower, get the blower cams....N/A cams will take longer to get in boost and wont hold it/wont build up as much as it should with a blower cam.
and from what i've experienced, blower cams without a blower work just fine......its when you see people swapping in different pistons for lower compression (more boost friendly) that you see some rougher running cars (built for boost but still running N/A that is).....
ask 2000GT4.6 or whatever his name is....the dude with the red GT....i believe he has/had NA cams with a blower and it didnt work so hot....

RE: VT Stage 2 N/A Cams Questions
I have the VT N/A stage 2 cams in the car, it is PERFECTLY fine so long as your on the stock shortblock.
The real problems come into play after you replace the shortblock, if you want to up the boost the N/A cams will have to come out. They have too much overlap and will cause problems.
On the boost the stock shortblock can handle though its not a problem. With the stock vortech 8 PSI pulley I am making just at 10 PSI at 6200 RPM, and the car put down 420 WHP without a i/c with a very safe a/f ratio.
blower cams are not going to run really great on a stock motor, IMO you should just really wait till you get your blower and then get a custom ground cam for your setup. You will make LOTS more power with a custom cam at that time, and for now neither the N/A or blower cam is going to pick up THAT much power (30 WHP at redline and maybe 20 peak if your lucky).
