Was that the article where they said 108 degree lobe centers made the most power in a blown application? And that 114 centers made for a "lazy" engine? It was definitely not what I was expecting to hear
Yeah; that's the one. It's the issue of Car Carft that's on the stands right now.
They interviewed turbo guru Ken Duttweiler, but bear in mind, he works mainly on new, state-of-the-art stuff that has the latest technology. He said that ball bearing turbos had changed the needs of cam design, and the new turbos can spool a lot quicker that the older ones (like I have) and the wide lobe separation we used with the older designs are not needed with the new-generation design of turbos.
So, whan you read that stuff, keep it in context with when it was written, The older turbos may well need the 114-degree lobe separation cams, still...
