Dear ShoNut.....

[kikkinasphalt]

im thinking about putting Cams on my list of things to buy during my springtime 3.2 swap.

im not too worried about below 3500 rpm performance however im at a loss and as there isnt much info out there can. you bless me with the down and dirty between the +40's and the tri-flows.

p.s. i want bastard idle

also, is a tune "required" with either of these.

thanks in advance.

 

[kikkinasphalt]

well that was helpful.

What are you looking to know? I'm sure you did, but did you read the info on Josh's website?

yes, all the tech info was there but i wanted to know the laymans difference between the triflows and the +40's

and if i needed to have the car tuned after.....

no big deal, ill just revisit joshs site and do more searching.

Any SHO with Cams can strongly benefit from a Tune. My SHO has +20's and essentially no Tune on the car (Besides the Idle Rasied and a few other things). With the +20's, My car does Idle, However come to a stop to Fast, Or let the RPM's drop to fast (I.E. - Be at 5000+ RPM's and then Push in the clutch and hit the Brakes to come to a stop) and the car likes to do Die. Right now, Because of I chucked the TweeCer (Gave it to Tim Tyner) my car is on absolutely No tune. It's driveable, Still makes power but the Idle issue is exemplified. I imagine a good Tune on my car would really wake it up however.

Tune will always help, regardless.

Triflows will give you +40 power after 4k, below its similiar to the +10 IIRC.

on the other hand, theres a set of stage 1's in James's shed..

Just wondering; does using triflows result in an interference motor like plus 40 ?

40+ needs a tuner , no way around it , idle must be set higher , or it will always stall.

i know of a certain RWD SHO that has 40+ cams on a stock tune.
idle screw ftw.

never saw it mentioned anywhere, but i suppose it would. Only on one of the intake valves in each cylinder, though.

The idle screw will not hold the raised idle. The computer will compensate for it, and return it to stock.

The +40 cam's with stock 3.0 or 3.2 pistons WILL be interference!
Seeing as the Tri flo cams use the +40 grind on the secondary set of valves, This Will make them interferance as well.
