Anyone running a cam from Katech? I currently have Stage II heads, and I'm running a Comp 218/224 .535/.528 114 cam....pretty mild. I was thinking about going to a Katech cam: same duration, .581 lift.
Does anyone run this cam?
If so what kind of power do you make?
Given my current cam setup, do you think I'll pick up power?
I've had my current setup for ~6000 miles/7 months. If I swap the cam, do I need to change springs(currently have 941s), etc?
I know there are allot of questions, your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Anyone running a cam from Katech? My friend and I both run Katech. He has heads/cam and I just have a cam.. You cannot go wrong with them! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Anyone running a cam from Katech? Thanks Jack, anyone else? BTW Jack, what kind of numbers are you guys putting down? You can even give them to me in metric <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> --I saw that you're in Europe for the time being.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Anyone running a cam from Katech? FASST, unfortunately we don't have access to any dynos in Germany that we know of, but Hawk (my friend) recently ran an 11.5 with his setup. The track sucked, though, and he spun badly down the track. He sprayed off the line, so that might have hurt him a little. I haven't gotten a chance to drive mine yet, since I'm deployed, but I heard it at the shop, and it sounded awesome!
Re: Anyone running a cam from Katech? Hmmm not sure it's worth the time to swap that.
I'd look into a 224/224//114 cam with more aggressive lobes, that sounds like an older Comp cam.

Re: Anyone running a cam from Katech? If you swap, pick up some duration too. If the heads nead a split look into a 222/226 or bigger. With faster ramps on the new cam, your idle will not be degraded.
