The only question left: Which camshaft actually makes the most power? If you had to put money on it… who’s your pick?  |
Not everyone's BEST CAM is the same. I do not care about peak power, big numbers or something that comes on like a switch with zero throttle control. What I care about is being able to blend the throttle as accurately as I can with my right foot, balancing this heavy Beyotch over a blind cresting hill under the bridge and dropping like a roller coaster 80+ feet downhill into a flat right hand turn where my tires are using the last inch of pavement at 120+mph across the Start/Finish line!
Its this incredible tractability of power that has me completely mesmerized and wanting more, but can I find the best of both worlds?
I'm thinking a lightweight valvetrain upgrade, stock cam and Johnson Short travel lifters might unlock a few more ponies but keeping the VVT for the monster torque down low. My Dragy Laps shows short-shifting at 5200rpms with my A10 was worth two seconds per lap!
What aftermarket cam can do that? The A10s are already known for keeping the engine at elevated sustained high RPMs... what if I program to shift earlier to make the engine last longer?
