Whipple Cam options with a rough idle?

teesee150 · 11-17-2018, 08:31 PM

I'm building a whipple setup right now but haven't decided on a cam yet. What is everyone running for a cam with the whipple? I'm looking for something with a good lope/rough idle.

Plan on running the whipple, LT4 fuel system, 2" headers, weapon x intake and possibly e85. I'm on a M6.

If you have videos of your cam, please post!

gonna be crazy, you do know that a supercharger prefers less overlap and shorter intake duration. but if you want performance idle you should look into something with a 114 or LSA and a long exhaust duration say 220 / 240 (help on bleed down and will add to overlap).

I can tell you any good tuner can make a stage 1 cam pretty mean sounding at idle, via software.

Yea, I know it's not best for power, but im already going to have more than enough on the street. I've always ran 400+ cubic inch motors with a big cam and I don't want to give up the sound

I would suggest talking to Ted over at Jannetty Racing. I have a Maggie, but this is his rough idle cam. I might be able to find a better video of the car idling...but this was my 10 year old daughter behind the wheel so I could hear it.

210 /237 116.5 lsa, getting close to what I just tossed out

The GT35 has a nice sound to it.

meaner then expected. More power to you guys. I was running around yesterday with my stage I cam and stock single tip exhaust here (LT headers of course), and I was thinking man this car is loud. I need to to get an Audi TT RS for my next ride... LOL

Good news is the daughter (who drives it when she is back home and the oldlady) don't like the "noise" and the ride. That's OK I save weight:
