Y1 Cam power ratings Anyone know what the Y1 cam would produce on an otherwise stock car? Ex. stock heads, manifolds, displacement? Just basically cam alone numbers. Thanx in advance.
Not off hand. I posted a "cam only" thead for that cam, but didn't get any responses.
BUT, you should consider spending money on the other areas of the motor first. Power is made by a combination of parts, not just 1 part hence most cam dyno graphs and other posting are with cars and most bolt-ons.(exception being Nitrous). A good Stall will help alot towards performance in a stright line and should be one of the 1st big mods you do. Then should come exhaust.

don't go for the big nasty if you're not willing to also get the supporting mods you'll need to make it work. you'll definately need headers and a fat stall for that cam. i'm thinking on an otherwise stock car, it would probably do 370ish, but get smoked by a bolt on car with a stall and gears.

Intake meaning manifold and throttle body? There's a lid and filter on it already. Also wanna throw a 150 shot on it. That will hold me over till I get a pair of stage 2 heads. I wanna get the cam before the heads though.

I hope I get a milder aggressive one than advertised.
