Why do guys with Turbo use......
Why do guys with Turbo use...... Cam with less duration on the exhaust side than the intake side? Would it be better if they used a larger duration on the exhaust side to spool the turbo faster?
Re: Why do guys with Turbo use......
FWIW, my cam has more duration on the exhaust side.
Re: Why do guys with Turbo use...... maybe they have reworked heads and the exhaust valve is larger, or maybe the exhaust lift is higher, or maybee its just what they wanted to try with there conditions to see if it worked, a cam is a fareley basic component to play with and make big power differences, what's everybody else think?

Re: Why do guys with Turbo use...... the cam is basic in nature but nowhere near basic to get right
reason why you keep the exhaust duration a little lower is to keep velocity higher in the exhaust port and that in turn translates to faster spool times

Re: Why do guys with Turbo use...... with smaller duration, it could build more pressure possibly, therefore moving the air quicker. more flow at a slower velocity doesnt mean quicker than a somewhat smaller amount of flow with a quicker velocity....
