What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

Lol not unheard of in jap cars getting 100kw gains from a decent cam setup

*on a falcon

 

was not referring to any car other than a BA-FG turbocharged falcon, to be clear.

Lol obviously given its a ford forum and not many people go all out on barra cam setups but my point was its not unheard of in general

E85, Typhoon. Big claims I know but this guy does have a 6 second barra remember. At the forefront of barra development.

[k31th]

I'm aware of him. I had him as a tuner on my old car. Good tuner at WOT, but anything else, nope.

 

Dyno numbers mean stuff all across two different dyno's. What else changed between those dyno runs? probably a lot more than just "I put in better cams"... surely the tune had more boost, timing etc.

 

Just the fact he felt he needed to post a single post on facesucks on this specific topic means it's probably designed to make him money or shift units from his "our spec camshafts".

[tazzanz]

Back to back runs apparently with only cams and springs changed.

[k31th]

well, it must have been tuned to suit the new camshafts, so it's not just the camshafts... and changing of valve springs can make a motor perform MUCH better to the capability of the remaining mechanical components if it's the valve springs causing things to run average.

k31thy your denial, 26psi both runs. Only so much timing you can chuck into it. #dynomitecamsfork31thy

[k31th]

perhaps I'm just skeptical and/or pessimistic. I wouldn't want those cams anyway, as it moved the start of the power band from 4,000 revs right up to 5,000 and made the power curve gain height slower (e.g. feels slower).

 

The area under the curve is what feels good in a road car, so the 577 isn't that far behind right up to 6,700rpm.  Obviously after 5,500 revs the 677 is better, but how often are you going to be in this rev range

[tazzanz]

Yea you can definitely see where its lost low end power. Im tempted to buy some since im rebuilding the thing anyway, maybe I should take one for the team.
