What Cam? 550whp?

Sudzy22 · 12-26-2018, 11:54 PM

What Cam are you guys running + supporting mods to make around 550whp? Right now I have 2" Kooks headers, intake, and flex fuel sensor, could I run full E85, cam, and make around 550? Don't want to change intake manifold right now either. What's the best NA cam? (Have LT4 injectors, LT4 HPFP, and Low side fuel pump)

Im running a stage 2 cam from TSP, as well as their 1 7/8 Headers, a rotofab intake and 93 oct tune, Im currently at 492rwhp, E85 alone would get me really close to 550. You also have the choice of head work, msd intake manifold, Throttle body.

Depends on whatever route you want to go

DFW1LE · 12-27-2018, 07:10 AM

I am confused, you have a D1SC and an LT4 fuel system and you cannot make 550 currently? If you have all that and then want to cam, car should make a lot more than what you are shooting for. Contact Pray Porting for cam advice.

I have the TSP VVT3 Cam and some more goodies, i think i'm around that, if not more.

Stage 2 cam, ported heads, ported stock IM/TB, ported LT5 tb, rotofab, and e85 should get you there. Pray peformance, GPI, TSP, all have packages.

Nice I have the same TSP vvt2 kit waiting to be installed. Debating if I should order ATI pulley since pulley comes off anyway for cam install.

If its an under drive balancer, I am not sure that is the best way to go in hot climates like ours. Just something to consider carefully, especially if you track on a road course.

What effects does hot weather have on a new balancer?

Just the balancer itself no problem, but if harmonic balancer pulley is under driven 10% or more, that might be a problem in hot climates.

532 on a Mustang dyno here.
E85
TSP cam. Custom grind as scene in attached pic
TSP ported heads
Pray ported MSD
Pray ported LT5 TB
Dry Roto Fab
TSP 1.75 off road headers.
Johnson link bar slow bleed down lifters

Cam is on a 112 LSA. I am not sure anyone else here has run one as tight or tighter

Hey this is a little off topic but I was looking at some of your vids and was curious as to what size tires you are running front and back on your drag pack? I am doing one very soon and wasn't sure what size tires everyone was running and what wouldn't cause my traction control and stabilitrack to mess up.

no worries, so learn from me and do the same 4 tires all around, i have 28x6x18 in the front and 305x45x17 in rear. so that makes them 28s in front and back and you won't get any lights or issues with that setup.

Yeah that is exactly why I am asking, didn't know you had 18s up front though. Mine is going to be 17s in front and rear. So you are saying I need to run a 28 inch tire and not a 26? No rubbing with the 28?
