Thread: best cams

Tomei 270 with BC springs all the way to 9000 rpms everyday jejejejeje
They make less peak than the BC S3 but they kill the BC on the mid range and thats very necessary on a street car....

s4's

Tekkie made good power on BC stage 3s , 411whp @ 12psi.
Hope he does not mind if I post his build sheet ....so dont count the BCs out
Setup (only stuff that counts)
Calum realtime ECU
3076r .82 A/R @ 15psi

BC stage 3 cams (272's installed straight up)

No one? Apparently you don't remember my dynosheet...

Correction... ~11psi.

didnt know you were running bc3s. those are great numbers.

id like to see what your car would have made with s4s ?

so anyone else with bc3 numbers ?

stratton.

I would be interested to see dyno's between the cams to see where the powerband sits relative to one another. I know the RWD guys did a cam shootout, it would be cool to see something similar for fwd guys, or perhaps there is already a similar posting?

I plan on using tomie cams for my w11 build Charles said they are better than the bc's so we shall see.

The cam profile of the S4's and the Bc3's is pretty close. Even without cam gears the lift and duration of the s4 are a little bit higher than that of the Bc3 so just looking at those the S4's should make maybe 5-10 more whp depending on the setup. Just throwing stuff out there. Honestly when talking about cams its personal preference. I myself would go with Bc3's and springs and retainers before I spent the same amount of cash on just some s4's and not be able to rev to 9k. In my eyes saving $200 and putting it into something else important (springs and retainers) and not making 10whp really wouldn't upset me Id just raise the boost 2 psi and I just made the hp back.

What about bang for the buck BC stage 2s??

I mean, they can be had for a little over 200 dollars and with most t25 or t28 setups, you are almost guaranteed atleast 20-30whp between 9-13 psi of boost. Not certain how much its worth at higher boost levels, since the T25 doesnt ilke much more than 13-14 psi consistently sans spikes.
