So I finally decided that it was time for cams. My buddy has a set of comp stage 3 and they sound amazing. However, they don't drive all that great. If the rpms fall below 1200-1500 on take off the car coughs and bucks pretty poorly. Also, seems to throw some high IATs (ported Eaton)
I had asked my tuner in the past about cams and wasn't overly enthused. He said it's a lot of money for not that much gain. He said 25-30 from what he has seen in the past from Comps
My car currently makes 640 pump 17.5psi and 767 on 23.5psi and e90
I reached out to Todd Warren in his FB page and got to talking. We discussed what my goals are with my car.
1. Power Gain - I wanted to maximize my power curve and gain even more top end. We decided to go bigger lift that require custom valve springs. Todd believes max power Gain on e90 can be 50-60+whp
2. Lope - I honestly what it to sound mean. Mods aren't necessarily that loud at idle, even with crazy loud exhaust setups. I want something a bit more "imposing"
3. Driveability - Even though I'm listing this last, it was the most important thing to me. My friend's car really doesn't drive that great as I mentioned. I wanted to maximize the drivability of the car and still get the most possible gain with power and sound.
For respect to Todd, I'm not going to list his custom Grind specs or what exactly he wants them degreed to. If he clears me to post it, then I will.
Bullet Racing Cams
Brian Tooley Racing .500 Springs
Crank sproket and cloyes cam gears
ARP cam bolts
New Ford OEM secondary chains
Wonder Racing chain tensioner spacers
New timing cover gasket and valve cover gaskets
Also thought since the motor is coming out I minus well do the wonder racing head cooling kit as well as oil pump gears. I haven't heard of many failures, but if I want to spin to 7200, figured better safe than sorry
Just a couple loose ends to tie up. Still not sure what color I want to do my valve covers
This is scheduled to be installed this Fall. I'll be updating this thread as the install goes
I'll have apples to apples Dyno comparisons as well. I can't wait

With the addition power to back it up. One of the nicest Terminators here on SVTP!
