Thu, 27 October 2005 01:20 The only camshaft I would ever consider is the exact cam that show definite and measurable gains over stock, from a credible source. Seen FAR too many 'junk' grinds pushed off on customers. Seems like most cam grinders have a generic "one size fits none" spec on file, that they ship out to the consumer to 'try', with no R&D whatsoever with that particular motor. Very common. Look at the Wade 280 cam/shim problem TE72 mentioned, for example. I bought a cam years ago that did absolutely nothing vs stock. Swapped directly for another brand (as advised by a very experienced 3tc builder) and the car never pulled so hard. No other changes. Really opened my eyes to what a HUGE difference a *correctly designed/ground* camshaft makes. I'll settle for nothing less after that. I wouldn't weigh too much on cam "specs". They're pretty useless imo. There are tons of threads on the net littered with testimonials of poor performing cams. For instance, HKS cams are the benchmark for mitsu turbo 4s due to their consistent dyno AND dragstrip gains. A few other cam makers were called upon to provide a lower priced alternative. Took about three different cam companies later to finally succeed. Even with HKS cams *in hand* the "lesser" cam grinders still couldn't match it! [Report message to a moderator]
