Choosing cams 16vt
Now I know custom parts for a specific setup will work best but sometimes money is a little tight. I'm looking at improving peek power as much as possible for drag strip but I do want to be able to drive there. I have custom inlet with 75mmtb , a well ported and flowed head and custom tubular manifold. My goal eventually would be around 700bhp with a gtx3572 or gtx3582 but I am currently running a presicion 5557. Would any off the shelf cams be up to the job? Iv been offerd a set of columbo cams at a bargain price but here are specs
Cam lift
Inlet cam lift: 10.9 mm - Exhaust 8.8 mm
Duration
276° / 250°
Timing
Inlet 30° - 66° / Exhaust 50° - 20°
Valve lift Top Dead Centre (TDC)
Inlet cam 2.1 / Exhaust cam 1.5
Clearance
0.35 / 0.40

I have read your data. If the C&B cams are actually for a turbo application just buy them.
Nothing wrong with C&B cams.

Re: Choosing cams 16vt
Ok guy I remember you saying c&b were good but I just thought the lift was on the very mild side but I am no cam expert, in fact the more I try to understand cams the more it confuses me. The specs I posted are for the stage 3 ( racing profile) but with lower lift than say cat cams I assumed the c&b cams were maybe more designed around a standard head.

Re: Choosing cams 16vt
The selection of turbo cams is hyper-critical as is the header design. I mean - absolutely 110% critical. That said the key is getting an ex cam with the right characteristics.
Get onto C&B website to check what they have for your actual motor.
I urge you to buy my new book (£110 + mailing and - seriously - only 9 or 10 left now) and study it carefully. The issues involved are far too complicated and lengthy to go into here.

Re: Choosing cams 16vt
Thanks for your time guy. Can you post a link to your book I will get it as a Christmas gift.
I maybe didn't explain very well about the cams. They are the c&b race min profile for Lancia delta 16vt
Her is the link.

I think Alexis Grant (member here) has C&B cams in his successful 400+ bhp 16v Coupe...
Mr Bariani knows what he is doing. One nice thing about them is they are relatively easy to fit & shim, they are also very durable (like: everlasting..!)
Book see:

It's been out some two years, review etc were taken down ages ago.

Re: Choosing cams 16vt
The wonders of digital cameras..!
Here are the C&B cams used in Alexis' car..
With the cylinder and boost pressure you intend - GC springs are a 'must-have' BTW...
