Camshaft choices
I am going to run a B303 on my car as soon as I finish it. The motor is already built(as shown below) But is not installed yet. I had the cam laying around and figured it would go good with 1.7rrs. I know you guys are goimg to say blower cam or something, but it was that or an E303. too late for the E cam.
-
Ok, do a custom blower cam. I used a Ecam on my old engine and hated it. Went with a custom grind blower cam and made it to my specs and it's awesome. Just my 2 cents.
-
I'd go with a custom cam too. Worth the extra money I think.
-
I also went with a custom cam. The motor isn't done yet but I'll let everyone know how it goes.
-
I went with the TFS stage 2, have'nt run the car yet so don't have an opinion yet. I had a F- cam in it before, made decent power, I just felt like it needed a little more exhaust lift and or duration. Custom cam guys seem to love their choice, it just was'nt in my budget for a custom cam.
-
I would love a custom cam but will I hate the B303? It has 224 dur int and exh. and will have like 512 lift with 1.7rockers. I am stuck with it for now but just wondered about the customs. I need to build a better motor later with better internals to live under boost, This motor was originally supposed to be N/A in another car.

The motor is balanced,Forged pistons and has head studs and good fel-pro head gaskets (non 0-ringed) Once the machine work is done is it too late to add on a Girdle. I have heard both ways
-
It will work for now, but like we said not as well as a custom cam.
I had mine made with the duration a little closer together, 220/224 and 114center line @50 with 545lift, the 114 is alot friendlier street cam. The motorsport cam has I think 110centerline. I had alot of idle surge issues with my Ecam. Anyway good luck, it should work fine for now.

I've got a B-cam with 1.7 rockers in my car. I had an idle problem but I just turned up the idle speed to about 1000-1100 and it does alot better.
The cam made pretty decent power in my car 410/400. This is on a stock cobra motor ( it's got aluminum heads now), at the time I only had changed the cam, injectors, and was making 10-11psi. But my car was running way way to rich (11.0 @3500rpms and it kept getting richer as the revs got higher) so it was choking it's self out.
When I build a motor for the car I'll definatly go with a custom ground cam, but for now I can't complain.
-
Hey guys , thanks for the input. Don't be surprised if a year or so down the road I am asking about what your custom cam specs are so I can have one ground.

i am very happy with my off the shelf anderson b-31 cam
