Camshaft test

[stevieturbo]

Again another topic, and this linked popped up via a US form. Not all new tests...but a lot of tests all the same, and even on one of those lowly gasping n/a engines

In the land of milk and honey.

No need for the scraper. I've been slotting the stock windage trays to clear bigger con rods. :-)

Some good Saturday morning reading

I really enjoy the way they write their articles and will try and dig out their blower cam test.

He's a bit of a shooting star and philosopher these days. Petrol in his veins thinning out a bit I reckon.

This article goes into some depth, but really helps to articulate what effect cam design has on driveability vs power http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/engines-drivetrai...

Easily turbocharged...and they'd need it to lug all them stupid batteries about lol

Every time I see a Prius, the bloody engine is running anyway ! Most must have the batteries fked already

Im still here
Passed my LSA Ute on just when I had decided to keep it. Sad.

But at least now I can think about a ZL1 Camaro!
Very interesting trip to PRI this year. I posted some pics on Faecebook.

Cams are good. I still have my 222/230 which might find its way into the LS3 ute soon.

3 bhp per cube NA! http://www.dragzine.com/features/pri-coverage/pri-...

But yes Im focusing on world domination in shooting. Its not so much a money pit and there is more down to the individual then the electronics (auto, traction control etc) and money spent.

Quote from Cammotion facebook page on the above engine..

"Cam Motion is proud to have been chosen for the development of the new LS based Dart 400 cubic inch NMCA Pro Stock class engine camshaft technology. 11,000 RPM and over 3 horsepower per cubic inch naturally aspirated is serious business!"
