Camshaft instal inquiry

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. LOL You could ask 100 people and get 100 different answers. Many will tell you the 5 or 10 degrees of cam duration difference will kill your car...

If you want a decent driver performance cam, the one you have is fine. It will give a little chop at idle with a nice tune up and run fine. In a decent set up it would be capable of high 12's low 13's at over 100 mph in the 1/4 If you want a bigger cam, then buy one.

The XE268 works well too. Been put in plenty of stock compression engines with stock torque converters for years. A lot driveability is in the idle tune up.


Watch out for the offset lug on the converter and flexplate... Line it up and make it before install so you aren't playing "why won't this bolt line up!" :)

I just want a nice idle chop, with good torque down low. I dont care about my 1/4 mile, I prefer my car to be streetable and sound good.

With my 14s and open the tires would spin off the stop no matter what. Now with my 15s, 3.23 and sure grip I only spin off the line if I go WOT but I catch very nicely when I catch.
