Hey people:

I've decided to get the Vortech SC and perhaps the Toda cams as well. Anybody have any idea who in the US will sell the Vortech SC at the best price? How about the Toda cams?

Thanks for your help.

i didnt think that the toda cams would work for FI setups. might juss want to stick with one or the other.

 

For my understanding, higher degree cam may decrease the pressure of the engine and help SC.... or, am I wrong?

 

huh? no, a more radical cam profile will increase the lift duration of the valves... therefore, increasing the combustion... wont hurt the SC at all...

im assuming that you're talking about "cams"... not "cam sprockets"

bigger cam sprockets that are driven by the belt tend to use less motion to turn the cams, which is why the RPM's jump up and down, but the bigger cams increase efficiency...

PM "speeeding". He's got good prices on Toda cams and is a board sponsor.

 

So the Toda cams dont affect the way the car idles at all?

Wha?!

Ok, first off - performance cams CAN hinder performance of a supercharger because high performance cams usually have longer overlap between the intake and exhaust cycles, which allows your boost to basically blow in through the intake valves and right back out through the exhaust valves without ever getting used for combustion at all.

As for cam sprockets, the S2000 doesn't use a timing belt, it uses a timing chain with cam gears (not traditional sprockets).

thats what i meant.. the degree of the sprockets is adjusted.. dono why i said they were bigger.... and i know it uses a chain, but it works the same way as a belt would...
