B1 C1 or T1 what the hell whats the difference between these cams from MTI. i know they have different specs but which is choppyer, has a better power band range, better low end torque. what are the pros and cons to these? some people say they have a B1 and love it and others say they would go with a C1 because its newer than the T1.my friend has a T1 with true duels and flp's and it sounds ill. can somebody please tell me whats the difference.
Re: B1 C1 or T1 what the hell Well they are close to the same spec wise; 221/221 .558/.558 112 LSA vs. 222/222 .566/.566 112 LSA. The bigest difference is the lift and the ramp design. The C1 will make more power and idle a little better (less choppy,) but the T1 would be easier on springs. But overall a doubt you could tell much difference.

Re: B1 C1 or T1 what the hell Dude, what the hell?
Get a C1! Has a lope to it. Will give ya the most overall power.
B1 and T1 will give ya quicker torque down low I would think. If you want chop, don't get a B1.

I'm gonna have to disagree with that.
My B1 lopes pretty good even through a muffler. 800rpm idle plus tuning. You could hear it clearly even when I was idling at 950rpm and running a super-quiet SLP 2OTL catback.
My B1 lopes comparable to a friends' T1 cammed LS1, also idling at 800rpm.

Re: B1 C1 or T1 what the hell i appreciate all of the helpful input but im still stuck. i all ready know how the T1 sounds. does anyone have any sound clips of a C1. sure i want the C1 because it gets more power but im curious if the two have a pretty similar lope or is the C1 somewhat like a sleeper cam and substantialy quieter than the T1?

Re: B1 C1 or T1 what the hell I've heard a C1 cammed car right next to a T1 cammed car. T1 loped harder at the same idle rpm. Granted, the C1 car in question had a quieter catback, but still I could barely hear the lope of the C1. T1 will be very apperent. B1 and T1 are almost the same in lope dispite the 112 vs 114 LSA.
Re: B1 C1 or T1 what the hell Or you could just blow off all of these and get the C2 or a TR224 . . . I think it has been proven that a 224 duration cam is optimum . . . just take a close look at Raughammers sig!
