Not everyone is as badass and smart as you Wil. I was simply trying to help the guy out and letting him know that one persons settings may or may not work for him and that he should have the cams DEGREED regardless of what cams and gears he's using. Degreeing > using anyone elses advice on where to set his cam gears.
Regardless of brand, 1 degree of advance = 1 degree of advance.
So I started this thread because I'm looking for advise for building my motor for 13:5:1 compression. My current setup right now is a gsr block bored to 83mm stock sleaves. Golden eagle crank, golden eagle rods, 11:0:1 JE forged pistons, ARP connecting studs, head studs ect. The head is a gsr head ported and polished with stock size forged valves, bronze valve guides, sk2 valve springs, sk2 titanium retainers, ect. Basically the head is totally fresh and built to flow air. I have sk2 pro 2 cams with sk2 cam gears, composite fuel rail, sk2 I/M with 68mm t/b. Stock injectors, sk2 2 3/4 exhaust from header back with no cat. For tuning I have aem ems v1 with the wide band air fuel kit. Basically I want to know from someone experienced what it takes to run 13:5, obviously high octane fuel bigger fuel injectors ect but I want specifics like are my cams gonna do good with that number, what octane fuel I should be looking at running stuff like that. I hope all my info will help with you giving me good feed back. If you have any questions feel free to ask
Yep. And if you're going to start playing with cam timing you better have a clue in the first place.This should have been sufficient to stop this argument. One-degree is universal. Yes some adj cam gears have 2 degree increments but the whole thing is still based on a 360 degree cam gear.
Lemme thread jack a little here - just a little - still compression ratio related.You can run 13.5:1 comp ratio my buddy has a b20/vtec all motor high comp around 13.1:1 he ran e85 with bulit b16 head with skunk 2 pro 2 and some more thing if you want to know contact me he made 250whp and 178tq!!!!!!
