Thread: JWT high lift cams for turbo

Well maybe if the ve was on stock headers and intake.

Stratton.

I guess those cams have been sitting on JWT's site all along and I never noticed.
So which is the better turbo cam?

there seems to be a lot of this going around the forum these days, people thinking a DE with big cams is like a VE

DE with all bolt ons and big cams, similar to STOCK VE. sure..

intake and something as cheap as an SSAC header suddenly the otherwise stock VE is already taking it to the next level.. forget about needing a lightweight flywheel or pulleys, etc...

yup, let them think whatever they want.

let dyno numbers and time slips spell it out for them.

if they choose not to read the facts who are we to show them them the truth.

stratton.

HE SAID STOCK!! Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

A high lift cam is better with a larger turbo but not with a smaller turbo. I actually lost power when I went from stock cams to S4's on a t25 (about 10hp). But a larger dowpipe and bigger turbine/exhaust wheels help fixed that.

that plus the area under the curve is inherently larger

"area under the curve" - are you talking about low end torque? if so, that matters only in daily driving... i'm sure most everyone is 4500 rpm or higher during a 1/4 mile run...

I mean the integral of the function that would define the area under the graph of power, even starting at 4500. i.e. the total summation of power, meaning the power stays up more consistently throughout the rpm range
