has 16s work with stock valvetrain? no. need springs

what cams do 20g guys use? street/strip use 12s. any bigger and its going to make that 20g even more ineffecicient than what it is, imo.

12s.

seriously. prolly the biggest id go on a 20g.

12s are a nitrous cam...but work surprisingly well on a turbo car.

why would you need any bigger?

a moderate size cam is all you need. the weak point lies more in the exhaust ports and exhaust valves more so than the cams themselves.

w/ the SHORT revlimit and poor head design that our cars have, it is important to choose the correct cam size, or else you will end up w/ a useless powerband.

and i was thinking about going big;16s

[daniel427ss]

so even if u have a lot of boltons n 6500 revlimit n have dynoed over 400hp with 20g. n is thinking about n20........still 12s does the job?

[Santiago.]

stock rev limit, and stock head...you wont be happy. atleast get a 6500rev limit w/ the 16s...but on a stock wheel 20g, and the 42-44lb wheel it comes w/, power will be already declining before 6500 comes around.


cams are all about improving your powerband w/o killing it.

have you dyno'd over 400 w/ the 20g?


12s are the ticket man! i promise.

12's were developed SPECIFICALLY for n20.

they are already a big upgrade from stock.

16s would be better off for a setup that has a 52lb + setup and/or revving to 7k w/ a head...

with my car its a freeway king but the 12's help to spool it a tad bit faster and smoother

[daniel427ss]

i wont be visiting a dyno soon so can i just slap em in there n go

[Santiago.]

sure. wont get the full benefits out of them tho, or any cam for that matter.

[daniel427ss]

every car is different but
is it suggested to do the sticky settings on the 20g;

""base settings for the .0012 and .0014s that people are using and have worked out great:

Fidanza Cam gears:
Intake cam: 2 degrees advance
Exhaust cam: 3 degrees retard"""

thanks im leaning more on 12s now but hey wuts up with crower or bc cams?
