Default About the Hammer Cam...

I saw the deal on the cam packages from MTI and can't pass it up. I was just looking for some input on which cam to get from them. I really want to make around 400 RWHP through an A4 in the next year. The future plan is to get a set of GTP S2 heads or the equivalent. So if I don't have the heads for a while... 6-8 months or more and no tuning probably the same amount of time. Which cam should I go with the C1 or C2. Also I would like to know which has a flatter torque curve? Any info would be great. I will also be adding the Groty headers from QTP and a TP4400. Any info would be great and I would really appreciate any dyno #'s on a combo similar to this.

I have the c1 cam and dynoed 389 hp and 382 tq with local ported heads and this was on the 2nd pull. I think I may have seen a little more if I had a third pull (computer learning after a pu put drive in the rain to Thunder racing dinoday. I do not know if it would have hit 400 but it will next time with a better ported TB and add asp pullys. Th tourqe was above 380 lbs from 3900rpm's to 5200 rpm's and hp was above 380 from 5500 to 6700 rpms and peaked at 6000rpm's. To me , that is a great power band

Good luck, I asked about the power difference between the C1 and C2 with stock heads and got no answer? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

ask roughhammer. he went from a 10.8?to a 10.6? by switching from c1 to c2. I was just telling you what mine did. My heads are not near as good as the ones you plan to use and I dont have all the bolt ons. On a day with no rain and drive the car hard on the way to dino it would have gone 400 plus to the wheels.

Look under the sponsor sales section. It's a pretty good deal considering the price of all the parts individually. At any rate I went with the C2 cam after talking with Chris at MTI.
