Default sorry, another cam question.

if i install a blower cam --> 224/227 .563/.569 114 lsa (and dual valve springs and titanium retainers) how would it act without the blower. Truth is i plan on getting the blower in a year or two, but the hp bug is biting and i saw this cam at thunder racing.

it will be better than the stock cam if thats what you are asking and should behave quite well NA til the blower goes in. Best of luck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

That cam will be just fine N/A. You'll maybe give up a few RWHP over a 227/224 in the meantime but nothing big.

sounds good, i was kind of questionable about the lobe sep. but then i figured anything is better than stock. hopefully after spring break i will see some flp headers and my cam. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />
