You can't go wrong with the Lingenfelter parts.

2EZ2SPD · 01-05-2013, 09:50 PM

Which Lingenfelter cam makes the most power? What are you running for a cam?

I have a Vinci cam purchased thru' SPI in Mississauga and couldn't be happier. 480+RWHP and a beautiful lope. Matched to a Magnaflow exhaust it is totally old school sounding.

You'd have to call them to ask which one they would suggest for your application. Spi is also a great place to call and talk to, and they're alot closer to hime.
I'm not running a cam. Yet??

A cam would be the next step.

How much torque are you putting down?

Right now I am at 415 RWHP and 395 RWTQ

2EZ2SPD · 01-06-2013, 12:35 PM

What else have you done to it so far? The second question is what else do you plan on doing?

No point in buying a cam designed for N/A if you have plans down the road to go F/I or turbo. You may also want to consider how it will sound at idle after the cam is installed.

That's exactly what I am looking for a cam like yours with a Supercharger Matster nice ride you have!!!What type of Blower cam and make is it.

Give us a call and we can set you up with the right cam to achieve your current and future goals for performance and noise

All the cams we install are custom grinds, and are machined for your specific needs.
