Higher lift help a lot with power and maybe a little response but longer duration is a massive detriment to response, it's actually surprising how little duration it takes to have a big effect  

Its also suprising how little duration you need to make big power..

there is so many overcammed rbs going around..people like to point out peak figures..it means shit..its all about the power under the curve and how wide it is with a h pattern!

cheers

So what would be your recommendation for cams. For the type of setup discussed in this thread. 2.6l, e85, 750-800hp turbo. Going for 500kw at all fours?

mine made 500kw on JEM's dyno with just a set of HKS drop in 256 cams 8.7mm lift

the problem with going bigger lift is the costs start to go up cause you need to mess around with the head even more

i was actually very surprised the cams didnt 'hold back' power as I was originally told go with 272 cams

JEM told me - lift makes power - duration moves the power up and down the rev range...

Agree totally ^^

People are too quick to throw big lift/duration cams in these days to the point of even making up custom high lift/low duration and bashing the valve train unnecessarily when there is more important things to sort out.

Ive made 5540wkw on a portedhead with 256 9.5mm kelfords (basically poncams)  Smart money gets spent where the greatest gains per dollar are first [emoji16]


What's does your fuel system consist of, if it's not a secret?

Fire hose style lines and had to eliminate the injectors all together as they were providing a restriction just straight fuel line in the intake manifold does the trick for this bad boy

I should point out that this is not regarding any particular car. Just want to see experienced people's views. It seems that high mount twins are dead as dead can be. Low mounts are old tech.

My car will be getting a pair of low mount Gtx units. In search of 450awkw. The cost of engineering papers puts a high mount single out of reach.

so do you want feelings or factual numbers? because depending on a few factors their result will probably vary from yours.

I suppose numbers would be more useful. Different drivers will describe feelings differently. I have now been forced to go the single turbo rout. Going for the precision. So numbers would be great.

Holy, phone typo induces mass hysteria!

We were all very impressed and kinda worshipped you for a while. Thanks for ruining it.

So what sort of fuel system are you running. Fuel pump and injector size? Please

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
