Well i would compare adv @050 and @200 but cammotion doesnt have any of that ready.

Its cut on a 110+3 so its good on ptv without flycutting. it comes out to a 107 or 108 icl depending on timing set normally. It would be pretty close to the titan4 in that respect but a tighter lsa keeps the exhaust ptv not as much of an issue vs the 113 of the titan if it would be at all

I can sit here and compare all day but there will be power either way. our asa cam is cheaper so thats the main difference that is on paper. it may be overall quieter as well.

Easy lobes with a quiet valvetrain too.
That would be a great cam for the OP goals.

Ummm.... tighter LSA makes ptv contact more likely due to less clearance. Wider LSA makes ptv less likely due to more clearance. Given the same durations.

Advancing helps improve exhaust ptv but decreases clearance on the intake side.

So in the end... do we all agree I should be able to get ws6Store's high lift ASA in there without fly cutting?

It seems Titan4 will have more room, but will they both work?

Honestly, I think I'd prefer the ASA, I just hadn't considered because I didn't think I'd have the PTV. But if its too close to call... I'd rather err on the side of more PTV.

The ptv wont be an issue. a lower lsa only increases exhaist ptv but its still not a large enough duration to worry. the intake wouldn't be an issue either.

Can you post a link to the high lift ASA cam?

Thank you...

We have not listed it yet. we are working on a new site and trying to get the back end done there (on our 2 sites actually) and havent had time to list it.

It will be likely middle to end of the week.

Anyway, assuming my TR224 (224/224 .56x/.56x 114lsa) is reusable from the blown motor... does anyone see any benefit going bigger considering the tight PTV, I don't imagine I can fit much more than the current cam anyway.

Torque goal is 350rwtq from 3000 to 6000 rpm. I called Tick last week to spec a cam, but haven't heard back. Thoughts?

As far as the titan 4... Think that will have enough PTV clearance?

I know I have to check regardless, just don't want to spend an extra $4-500 on a cam then find it I have to fly cut.

Yes, the Titan 4 will clear with .030" milled off of the heads and it is a great street cam with excellent mid-range power, a nice sounding idle and very good drivability. It is available in 5150 Steel Alloy for $399.00.

I dont know the da but da wouldnt effect mph as much as it would et i believe. ive tried to find the weather info but its hard to find.
There was no tuning change he just put cam in, they adjusted idle some, and ran it on the dyno from what Dave told me.
Ask him as he has more info on all that but i am pretty sure thats correct.

Even so, if the cam took diff tuning, would it have made a diff? If the cam took more timing etc thats a product of the cam swap. The og hotcam setup was tuned the same way, so thats not even a factor to calculate.

Based off when he ran the car i think the da may have been worse on this recent run, but dont quote me on that.

No need to nitpick it to death though, it ran 5mph faster while running worse et 60ft 800ft etc so it litetally means it was making more power.

I dont know when he ran the orig time, and the da apparently changed from high 1700s to low 1900s through the day with relative humidity in the 50s to 90s. the track altitude is 630 above sea level according to the site. was at toronto motorsports park. so the da was good for alot of tracks here but not for that track ideally. Da was around 3x as high as actual altitude.

was just curious if you believed 10hp gain on the Dyno graph and 5mph was accurate.

Im sure the dyno graph was low and have said as much The diff in mph proves that. everyone argues to take it to the track that you cant race a dyno, he takes it to the track and proves not only the cam but what ive said and people are still critical. cant please everyone i guess.

I think people would buy into it more if he was better about documenting simple stuff like d/a. Same Dyno as I recall and same tune right? Can't have it both ways and say it gained 5mph with the same tune and everything but picked up only 10hp on the same Dyno with the same tune. That's all. I'm sure it's a great cam, just something left to be desired from the owner.

Left to be desired? He loves it. Not only vs his orig hot cam but vs others.

On any other project again no one would ask for all that info though if it were any other cam. It dynod low but ran great at track and his feedback is all him. most combos that dyno low are just accepted as dynoing low.
We have sold quite a few of these actually.

Your questions have mostly been answered in both his threads on it honestly.
