Cam selection, little help?

01-20-2001, 01:14 PM

I plan on running GT-40X heads & a Kenne Bell "Blowzilla" sometime in the near future. My question is which cam to work well with the screw-type blower and that I can use my 1.72RR's with on the new heads without flycutting? Thanx!

Check out www.alternativeauto.com You may find some info on blower cams there, or give them a call...are you going to upgrade you intake as well?

your best bet is to call around to some tech companies. make sure you have all your specs laid out(heads, car weight, gear ratio, etc....), and any future plans/goals in mind for the car and then i would go with a custom grind. try comp, crane, isky, and other such companies to see how similar the grinds they come up with are in relation to each other. good luck, nick
