Thread: Those who know about the 20V Cams

Hi Guys,
Im have a stock SR20VE with 20V header and 3 " exhaust, i am getting a set of 20V Cams, why not N1s? because i like to got to the track, thats my thing and im mostly between 4500 to 7000rpms and revving as high as the N1s wouldnt help me a lot, also the SR20 Gearbox is too long for the track. I want the 20Vs as i understand they produce more torque down low. My plan is to rev it to 8000rpms.

Now before installing them what else should i get? or take into consideration? I want to hear opinions and experiences for that.

Thanks,

get N1 cams

6500-8000 RPMs N1s make more WHP.

I cant, im getting this just because a friend is giving them away very cheap.

Well then. You are getting 20V because they are at a good price and you are not considering N1s because they cost to much. So then why mentions N1 and 20Vs and where they rev and make power when from the get go 20Vs were your only option.


Lastly your best bet is to get the 20Vs sell them for $350-$400 and make up the diffrence and get some N1s. Why you ask If you put 20V cams in your stock VE head I bet you it will not last to long, maybe one race and a miss shift. The 20V cam is an extremely aggressive cam, which is hard on the stock SR20VE valve springs.

Yeah if you want midrange I would consider 16ve non n1's. They are cheap and make great power in the band you mentioned. Swap the 20v's for some 16ve non n1's

Or get some crower dual valve springs and titanium retainers and run the 20v's

Consider replacing the valve cover gasket at the same time. And the distributor gasket while you're at it. Make sure you remove any excess RTV that oozes into the distributor hole. Make sure the distributor adjusts freely once the RTV cures, you may have to loosen the torque on the bolts and re-torque with the distributor in place.

I say dare to be different, you don't see many people running the 20 v cams so grab some aftermarket springs and retainers, since they're so aggressive, and go for it! I'd like to see the results!!
