Crane Camshafts - SRT Forums

watercurse · 10-06-2009, 07:39 AM

i was told that 16s are good for a stage 2 car, and 18s are good for a car with all the top end you want. Well im not sure where fall in here, my car is running at 350whp currently at 20psi, stock internals so far, but trying to upgrade pistons, rods, piston rings, port intake and cylinder head, cam gears, etc. So i want to be up around 450whp at 23psi. Which camshafts would be best?

16's, what turbo are you using? Ported head?

AGP 50 trim, and the cylinder head isnt ported yet, but thats what i was going to rebuild the engine and do all the replacements at once, the pistons, rings, camshafts, cam gears, rods, ported intake manifold i think ill do after, but yeah u get the idea.

How were the spool charteristics effected? I know thats more than likely a dumb question since the stock turbo spools stupid fast but im sure it has to of been effected some.

I have a set of 16's. Will trade for a similar set of 14's, if anyone has them. PM me if interested.
