Cam Talk and Definitions

[bobesser]

What seems to be missing from this is the stock values for lift/duration/and opening-closing events and comparison between them and common upgrades.

i have a stock turbo with some bolt ons. would crane 014's be good for my car. i was planning on upgrading with valve springs and retainers and maybe some arp headstuds. i figured if im going to be in there....why not do it right? would they be ok for daily driving with weekend adventures to the track. i do have plans for upgrading the turbo...would they still work well?

I would imagine the degrees should be the same no matter what brand you install. It's better to get them dialed in on a dyno as well.

i plan on doing stage 3 big wheel with ported head would 16's work good? i dont care for gas milage or etesting or sound, i just want power.. but what would happen if i didnt get a ported head right away and installed the cams and retainers and springs would it choke the power? i pretty much have every bolt on. or should i just leave stock cams in or 12's?

Any one know anything about brian crower cams i bought some stage 3s that are getting put in with my fully balanced & blue printed motor and ported heads and a hanh 20G turbo and its my daily driver prolly should of asked before buying but im a dumb ass and just want all the power i can get so i figured these would be good not know anything about cams just that they were in the middle of all of them yeah i know im a moron sometimes

has anybody ever had any problems with cam not getting enough lube and they start squeaking. I just bought my srt4 and first summer to drive it and if i run it too long the cams start sqeaking can you tell me what is up with that.
