thanks in advance
guys I have been running a n/a cam in my turbo nova for 5 years now and I'm just wondering how much I'm leaving on the table as far as average power. my little cam has gotten me to a best of 9.85 at 141 mph and I have ran as high as 18 psi boost but it seems to flatten out after 6ooo rpm. I,ll post up my current cam as well as a new one I already own and see what you guys think. thanks.
my current cam is a comp efi truck.
54-450-11
206 intake @.050 513 lift
212 exaust @ .050 520 lift
115 lsa
I run it with comp 1.85 rockers
new cam still in box is
Bennett racing
ls1 3713r 3718r 114+2
intake 220@ .050 564 lift
exaust 230@ .050 572 lift
114 lsa
engine is a sbe 2005 lq4 , 317's with pac dual springs , borg 80/83 with 1.25 t4 housing, ptc converter.
what I want to know is the cam change worth the effort .

if there is nothing to be gained under 6k I wont do a cam swap.it has enuff power to go mid 9s if I get the hole shot better.
its been 114 in the 1/8th and 141.89 in the 1/4 but the 1.60 ish 60' is killing the et. slippery track is the issue . but I'm working on that.

Nothing ventured....nothing gained! Put that cam in and hammer down!
I would say go for it. Cam swaps are easy on these motors. I just did one in my nova. Took me 3 hours. No biggie really. Worst part is the coolant, lol

All depends on goals. If just looking for increased "average power" from 0 to 6K rpm, I'd recommend talking with some sponsors to see what they say based on current eng and turbo config.
Did Bennett spec the new stick based on current combo?
