Hot cam vs MTI T1 Ok here it is.
My best time with the hot cam
1.930 60', 12.450 @ 114.20 MPH
and my new best time with the T1, and LS6 intake
1.950 60' 12.165 @ 116.11 mph
Conditions were probably about the same.
Both cams dynoed within 5 hp of each other.
i added the intake between cams, so not much
I can do about that.

The T1 is on a 112 lsa and the B1 is on a 114 lsa. I was using the B1 w/ stock heads and was more than happy with it (11.90@117.72, 1.76 60')

Re: Hot cam vs MTI T1 Which one of these cams is "better" meaning more power with drivability...still kinda worried about driveability, but I want it to lope like a SOB. So, which would make more power with my mods plus slp lt's, the t1 or b1?

Re: Hot cam vs MTI T1 This is calculated data with desktop
dyno.. but compares leading cams

Re: Hot cam vs MTI T1 The T1 and B1 make about the same power, but the T1 pulls the power earlier in the power band than the B1. This is why I'd like the T1 because I want the power lower in the rpm band (more where I drive). However, I may go with the Hotcam because of price. I'm on a tight budget. But the T1 should make more power than the Hotcam. Decisions, decisions...

Re: Hot cam vs MTI T1 Actually,
The theory is that the B1 peaks a little later but in practice (On the dyno) the two cams are pretty much identical with the exception being the smoother idle of the B1 and the better emissions of the B1. The B1 tends to extend the power peak a couple of 100 rpms but the overall curves look pretty much identical.
I use the B1 and love it, idles great, makes great power and passes emissions with ease all on the bone stock programming (HPP+ used from rev limit and fans etc, no engine, idle speed programming)
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Hot cam vs MTI T1 Ireland31
I will take all 3 of my Dyno sheets
to work Mon. so I can scan them. And post them later. I have a stock one, hot cam, then T1.
You can feel a huge difference in power
with the T1. And the car idles alot better.

Ah <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
Say a certain person was not worried about emissions, and the car was for street use, go with the T1? I have heard a B1 run, very smooth idle, is the T1 much different? A lot more lopy?
thanks for all the info so far <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
