N/A Cams VS TT Cams. Benefits from mixing?

[DrGonzo]

Also, if using adjustable cam gears and if we followed the Cam Gears set at +1 advance on intake, -3 retard on exhaust. Then with N/A cams you would set the Cam Gears at +1 advance on intake, -5 retard on exhaust. That correct??

Ha, you beat me typing it out.

well it didnt take long for this to get wrong info

edit: even i was wrong lol

Link to your source of "correct" info...?

I'll post mine when I get home from work in about an hour....

TT and N/A cams are the same profile.... TT exhaust cams are retarded 2 degrees to INCREASE overlap.

lol just think about this statement... if the TT cam is retarded then overlap definitely is decreased lol... i like the way you made your mistake all caps

edit: lol i was wrong about this, but TT runs less over lap not more

edit 2: this one is pretty embarassing, tt does have more overlap and a bigger overall exhaust cam

i do believe they are all .350 lift im not sure if the tt exhaust is a smaller duration or if they just shifted it a couple degrees though

No mistake on my part.... I'm right and I can prove it. Care to make a run at proving me wrong while I'm driving home...?

wait yea i thought about that backwards lol, retarding exhaust means more overlap that parts right... but the tt car runs less overlap than the n/a <<im wrong here

on stealth 316 its say intake cam is 251 degrees and exhaust is 247 degrees

but who knows... ive seen a million threads on this and everytime there seem to be multiple answers to the question lol...

the safe bet would be to use the TT cams with the TT car and NA cams with the NA car...the 4 degrees duration you might get on the TT exhaust (if thats even correct) and needing to buy cam gears probably isnt worth the hassle

You should quit while you're behind.....
