What cams would/do YOU use?
Doing some research for a new cam. Low mileage motor (20K in 10 years) Thanks for the info. |

For a guy like me, I do a lot of armchair engineering and, good or bad, I'm willing to spend the money to build an above average engine. So if I can find a place to test my heads on a flow bench, I'll do it so I can better choose a cam. Ever since I've started working on cars about 3 years ago I've been voraciously devouring every bit of auto knowledge I can. So I suppose a split duration cam would be most often discussed in race engine circles, but isn't really that far off for the informed hard core hobbyist.
On a side note, I was just sitting here thinking about cams and wouldn't it be great to be able to test how cams would work on a dyno before even contacting WebCam to choose your grind. All we have to do is engineer some heavy duty solenoids that would bolt on in place of the rockers, and then write a computer program to interface with the solenoids so you could change lift and duration "on the fly". Hmmm. It all seems so easy... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
