BoostCraze

But like you were saying Joesph you can use a NA cam and it will work ok on a turbo motor?

12.23 in the quarter in a integra (DC) running moderate boost without vtec using super overlap crower 404 NA cams , you tell me if they work. (not like anyone ever ------- listens to me anyway WTF do i know)

and to decypher JD's always informative yet never directly answering points he means jun3's and similar cams (like Rockets) run into valve to valve clearance problems. theres only so much lift you can squeze out with a b series head

Back to the question at hand. Yes your stock cam will work when you put boost to it. I'm sorry all that Joseph and I got into it alittle, I hope there is no offense taken. If you need big power camshafts will help. I work on v8 crap all day long and cam-head combs make the power.

V8's also try to maximise cylinder filling and make as much torque as possible... whereas on a 4 cyl that just runs us into our knock limit quicker, as we don't have displacement to burn. What the 4 cyl guys do is try to move the powerband up so the torque peak is extended and doesn't drop off as quickly, and let mutant rpms manufacture googly-eyed hp figures while running nothing impressive by way of airmass per engine cycle/torque/cylinder filling.

Frankly, for B-series shooting for the usual 300-ish whp, I wouldn't look at a set of cams unless you were LS (they really do help with power from low to top end, spool, and keeping tq from falling off as hard up top) or if you were dead certain you had auto trans B16 cams. And, even then, I might not look into cams... you see plenty of people hitting 300 whp on stock block LS, it can be done.

BTW, iceracercrx, I didn't take any offense. I'm a socially inept neurotic, and really happy you don't hate me.

It takes a lot to make me hate someone. The *** hole that rear ended me last year in turn 10, I hate. After the race I figured he would come to say sorry or something. Nope all the dick could say is "I hit you pretty good because my brakes didn't work the whole race" ------- *** hole. Take it easy Joesph.
