226/218 Reverse Split?
226/218 Reverse Split? I've been reading about the new reverse split cams along with the new xe-r lobes and was wondering what a smaller cam version would do. I was thinking around 226/220, 226/218, 224/218 or 224/216 with a 114 lsa and was curious as to which of these would put out the best power curve hp and which would deliver the best idle characteristics. Would these cams have some serious lope or sound seemingly stock? I am unaware of anyone using these specs, but in reference to the 227/224 and 230/224 cams how would these smaller cams behave. Sorry for all the questions, but hoping the cam experts could help me out and point me to the best experimental set-up. Thanks
Re: 226/218 Reverse Split? The reverse split cams should give you more power and cleaner idle than a single pattern cam or conventional split duration cam. To make them work best though, it's important to have excellent exhaust. If you're still running stock exhaust manifolds, then a single pattern cam would probably be a better choice.
If you have headers and good catback, then a 220/216 cam on a 113LSA would be the stealth choice (almost stock idle) and a 226/220 on a 113LSA would be the all-purpose power champ with good idle (really mean with XE-R lobes, haha).
I chose the bigger Thunder Racing 230/224 cam on a 111LSA because it makes huge torque everywhere and, makes peak hp at 6100 rpms, and will carry that power all the way to 6800 rpms. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
