CAM SELECTION -

I'M GETTING READY TO DO MY CAM INSTALL AND HAVE 2 CAMS HERE AND WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR OPINION'S ON WHICH ONE TO INSTALL:

MTI B1 CAM 221/221 558-558 114

SPEED'S CAM 224/228 563-563 114

I WILL BE RUNNING THE JUICE WHICH IS WHY I HAVE THE SPLIT PATTERN CAM BUT I THOUGHT THAT THESE LS1'S WERE JUST BETTER WITH A SINGLE PATTERN CAM? IF YOU ARE RUNNING EITHER ONE OF THESE CAMS GIVE ME YOUR .02 PLEASE.

THANKS <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: CAM SELECTION -

Those cams are not good for spray.

Choose another.

Re: CAM SELECTION -

Too much overlap? What would be your preference?

Thanks

Thanks<hr /></blockquote>Those cams are fine for spray dont listen to them.I would go with the split patter as it will offer more power N/A and when you juice it.My buddy had a b1 cam with a wet kit and that car ran like a bat out of hell.I know everyones definition of fast is different but that car was fast.

Re: CAM SELECTION -

Go forthe one with more exhaust, you'll need to clear the way for the next intake charge

Re: CAM SELECTION -

I was told by someone, on this board I believe, that you want more intake vs. exhaust if you intend to spray and want the greatest gains.

Now someone correct me if I'm wrong, as I have no knowledge of cam specs and how intake/exhaust have any effect on N/A use and N20 use. I'm looking at getting a cam soon, and with the info that was given to me I was looking at something from thunder or speed in a flavor of 227/224 112-111 lsa. Am I wrong as far as intake and exhaust is concerned with N20 use? I am using a 125-150 wet shot. Thanks.
