Gainzy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Anybody changed the cams on their stock engine? Anybody have any opinions about this? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_EP82 GT Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Choosing cams depends on your setup and engine profile really mate, as it alters the engines powerband. But the 5e-fhe cams have slightly longer lift and duration and may be of benefits to a mapper who can make use of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 More lift and less duration is what most turbo engines prefer. Depends what the cars used for really, I would tend to say stick with stock cams though, they are more than capable for 99% of people's needs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) More lift and less duration is what most turbo engines prefer. Yeah 100% and everyones running after power way up the rev range for big ish turbos and want high lift/high duration and the very people who would benefit from a high lift shorter duration cam wouldnt spend the neccessary money on the valve train/head to make safe use of it. big lift short duration is the hardest on your bits (high ramp speed or whatever its called) and valve float etc would never be too far away if set up poorly.
