Hypothetical cam question

Post by jdlaramee »

Two oddball cams, how do they act differently: 175ci 4cyl. Ported factory, 2 valves per cyl. 1.95 int. 1.625 exh...Ported with numbers of Int..1-63...2-129...3-181....4-227...500-243...600-246, never backing up...Exh. ...1-55....2-94....3-131...4-161...5-183..6-200...

I know these cams are not the norm but we do things a little different. 1st cam :.525 lift intake and 285 duration @ .050 on a 116lob sep.
2nd cam is a .525 lift with a 272 duration .050 still on a 116 Both with only 248 @ .050 on the exh. Will the larger duration of the intake valve on number cam 1 delay the spooling the turbo or is it based off the exh. valve timing, duration @ .050 and lob sep, Will the added intake duration move the power up at all or is it based of the exh. timing and event by itself.... This is a hyd roller which we have done in the past and feel we have the right light weight parts and were pretty good at getting the rpms needed to extract the power in the right places in the past, 9600-9800 rpms... I know they would benefit with lift but keeping rockers on these with hyd. is tough..
We have gone fairly well with aftermarket stuff, were just trying something a little different

The cam companies that I have seen that make specific turbo cams use cams with less exh duration.

It has less on the exh. side, only 248 @ .050 as apposed to the 272 or 282 on the intake...,JL
