I am looking at putting a whipple sc on my truck. My mods are in my sig but the cam has a 112 lobe sep on it. I was wondering how much that will hurt me that it isn't at least a 114 or larger. Will it be worth putting on without a cam change because i don't want to change the cam? Any info will help and i know i will have to put stock pully back on. Just wondering what it will do.

 

You will be levaing a lot of power behind from the boost bleedoff. I would look at geting a 114.

 

getsome, have you installed that cam yet? Im am considering a cam as well, and that cam seems like a good all around cam.

If so how does it feel/sound/etc?

thanks

 

It feels pretty good. I put a tt3000 and a nelson tune in at the same time. WoW is all i can say. A big difference between a stock 99 and that. It has a noticible idle but pulls pretty hard. Going to get it dynoed today.

 

If your gonna run a blower, you should run a split cam too. With more exhaust duration than intake duration, you will get a lot more out of that blower.

 

Ya i was looking at compcams 216/220 525/532 114 lobe. Didn't know how much i woould gain with it and blower if it was worth doing or not.

 

cool, what do you think that cam will do without a converter?

I may get 4.10s here soon as well?

thanks bud

 

It would work good with a stock converter. It has power from like 1000 to somewhere in the 5800 rpm range by the way it feels. It is a reall good cam for a N/A motor. I have the stock 3.73 and it works good with them but 4.10's you can't go wrong.

 

What your really looking for is less overlap which is affected by the Lobe Sep. A 114 can be worse that a 112 depending on the timing of the valve openings.
