Just curious have any of these high dyno rated fg's used camshafts ?

Or they get 330 on 98 and 360 on e85 without a cam.

Would the camshaft be able to help while the smaller fg turbo is at its max ?

ye I know cams isnt needed, but I was thinking when the time comes for valve springs I might get a cam in there aswell

they sound nice plus reduces the amount of boost needed to make certain amount of power, from what ive seen crow cams show on youtube

I feel asif ppl are against cams around here lol

just say for the sake of the scenario;

im getting 360rwkw on e85 on max on my fg turbo

if I had a cam installed id get 360rwkw with less boost

then would I be able to put up the boost and go over 360rwkw barrier ?

Depends if it starts to go ping ping ping and what safe guard they go

shy, in this scenario pinging really a factor since the stock cams will be able to retard or advance the timing enough to find the limit on a stock bottom end.

they only reason I would upgrade the cams is if I have come to a point where the pcm can no longer keep up. This is at the 7k+ rpm.

No one does the cams because it really wont give you much (if any) benefit over the stock ones. In fact, you will probably gain power in the top end but loose power in the bottom, or vice versa so it is kind of a step backwards.

That meant to be "not really a factor"? Or it is right how it is? Lol :/
