SR16VE cams are ok to 9000rpm on stock valve springs.
SR16VE N1 cams I have seen motors at 10,500rpm on stock valve springs but not that I would recommend that.
VET cams i'm not sure as i have not measured them and checked the ramp profiling.
20V cams are ok to 8000rpm. These are more aggressive than the std cams and have more lift. Its actually just the intake cam thats the problem for valve float, the EX cam is actually fairly smooth
Bringing this back from the dead, but I was wondering if I had a set of the 20V/N1 cams in my setup with the new manifold, how would the car react to revving to 9000 rpm?
I am just throwing some thoughts around right now. I know I wanna rev higher, but the stock 20VE cams seem so weak. The N1 cams have 8* more duration and 8* more overlap than the regular sr16 cams, so I am curious if the effect on power will be
that substantial on a turbo VE. It certainly has a lot more lift!
I would love to try out these cams for kicks in my setup when the manifold and .82 divided housing are on. See what kind of power can be made and when it will peak. JPsr20det has seen very very good results with his setup on sr16VE cams.
The 20V/N1 seems like a killer cam as long as you can keep the overlap from causing reversion. The twin scroll design might just make this cam work.
Perhaps Snickers can chime in here?
