-Just know bigger the cam ..... the more gear ratio you'll need to get the cam/car where it likes to be.
- Also bigger cams tend to surge/buck more and harder to tune perfectly so to speak.

 

So a Titan 4 and some heads should do my car well and help my horsepower addiction. When I do a rear end I was only going to do 3.73 gears.

 

Sounds good. If you do 3.73, aim high on your static compression. If you have 91, aim for 11.3. If you have 93 octane aim for 11.5:1. Higher compression will help the cam in the lower rpms and help it run better on softer gears.

 

Yes 93 is what I run in the car now.

 

Then I recommend milling the heads to get to 11.5:1 static compression ratio with 0.041" head gasket thickness. Run that with the Titan 4, and you'll run pretty well even on stock gears, better if/when you decide to upgrade to 3.73.

You'll want to verify PTV clearance due to the amount of material being removed, but the T4 isn't too extremely aggressive so I wouldn't expect there will be an issue.

 

I would contact Smallwood Race Development. He will spec you a cam.

So, do you want a sleeper cam or a rowdy cam?

Anything in the 228/232 112 range will be a good cam on the street. Bigger than that and it becomes pretty rowdy. With heads, you could do a 234/242 111 type of cam like I have... or even more. But you'll make the power you want. Any bigger an it really becomes a waste in stock cubes.

 

I just don't want a cam that is crazy chop, I don't want to much attention. That is why I was thinking the Titan 4 after watching a couple cars with it on you tube, it didn't sound to crazy. It's going to take some time due to budget but if I can get heads then save to have them ported. So it gives me time on a cam, at first I was going to cam it only.

 

You can smooth out a big cam... more timing, higher idle, little richer.
