What Cams Can I Get?
 

Here is the deal, I need some cams that will work with stock springs. I am going to be building a head with nice springs and valves and whatnot but until then I NEED cams but dont want to switch out the springs. I need to know whats the most aggressive cam I can get on stock springs? Really Im just looking for cams that are better then stock, can use stock springs, and that are cheap or that I can find used for cheap.

2.4l
20G turbo
Stock head

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

I know it is not common, but you can replace the springs while the head is on the car.

or if you just need some stock cams i can hook you up.

there is absolutely no point in buying 264's or 272's as a stopgap

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

If you want something cheap and used to get Brian Crower cams (their 272 grind will be fine with stock springs/retainers).

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

Come on do it all up on the first shot it is only money. When are you going to build a head with all upgraded parts?

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

HKS 272s or BC 272s. It's not like the HKS 272s are a bad cam either.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

I just dont have the money right now man :( and my car needs something other then stock. I have a spare head that I want to slowly build. Thanks for the input guys!

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

Forced Performance makes several sets of cams that will work just fine with the stock springs as well.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

They only make 2 that can use stock, FP1 and FP2s.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

hey man, i have a set of crane cam springs if you would like to buy them, they are brand new, never used! still in box!

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

If I buy springs they have to be dual valve springs.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

what do you mean dual? they are stiff as hell, and they are the nicest ones crane makes, and i bought them for my 420a, i dont know if they will work on your car or not...

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

Like These 2 spings in one. They are required for the cams I want to get.

What do you guys think of reground cams? For me these will only to a temp solution til I get my head done.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

Just stay with the stock ones, the cams aren't that bad. Once you build the head, then go big.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

When I brought my car to DB he said I NEED cams, So thats what Im basing this off of.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

Bagel, just slap some 272s in there.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

Well, you need cams to extend the power peak. You don't need cams to have a good running car though. People have made some respectable numbers on stock cams. I would definitely look at doing them in the near future, but it isn't going to cause any problems with your car.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

I guess I know I dont NEED cams but I dont have any power up top so thats why I want them.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

Then get the HKS 272's. I ran mine with stock springs and they were fine.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

The only problem with that is a used pair is like $400. Im cheap :). Maybe Ill just skip it and spend my money on other things.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

What size 20g is it? The turbo could be a restriction up top also.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

Do you have a sheet metal intake manifold? If not, that will be hurting the top end too.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

I dont know what 20g it is, And I have a magnus.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

BC 272's are cheap on ebay.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

Go with BC's! There cheap and there good cams. Then again if you get HKS's used you can use them till you want to upgrade and sell them for the same price.

Re: What Cams Can I Get?
 

blageo, I had regrinds in my white talon you saw and I liked them alot, they really freed up the engine from the factory cams. I would really reccomend these if you are looking at getting a head built since you could then go bigger cams for more power.
