TR230 CAM and a Vortech Supercharger
Re: TR230 CAM and a Vortech Supercharger You described my cam almost to the T.. Allan at Futral Motorsports decided that my cam would be a good SC/Nitrous cam.. I would call him to get the specs...
Re: TR230 CAM and a Vortech Supercharger And a turbo car needs more intake duration and less exhaust duration because it's a different dynamic, the turbos have better exhaust scavenging so you aljost have to limit the scavenging. Too much scavenging and you will be affecting the intake charge.
I am going with intake and exhaust durations in the 23_'s and a 115lsa, I looked into running a 24_/24_/11_ cam but the car might need to be shifted around 7600-7700 and I don't want to spin that high.

Re: TR230 CAM and a Vortech Supercharger He is asking about a SC cam though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
It will be interesting to see if the wider LSA (115) with less intake and exhaust duration like you mentioned would work better than the large split 234/242 114LSA cam I am proposing. Have to look at intake/exhaust valve closing points and where the cam is likely to peak. (Also depends on cylinder head combo too)
I think with a race only setup I would run as much duration as possible on ~114LSA while fitting into a particular peak rpm limit. (Factoring in 7-9 degrees more duration on the exhaust side)
