The s13 cams have a duration of 240 intake side and a 248 duration on the exhaust side.

The s14 cams come with a 232 duration for both.

I dont wanna shock you guys or anything but, If you turbo you're Ka24de and keep the stock cam's While having something to tune with. This DOES make a difference. Maybe not a world of a difference but every bit of hp does count. :cool:

The only thing that balances the s13/s14 out is that the s13 ecu has a weaker map while the s14 ecu has a more aggressive map yet, still weak though. :rolleyes:

Did you even read what I said? your saying in the long run well My long run on any engine I plan on is cams, the cams in either engine suck stock so why keep them at all.
 
^^ Well, i dunno what you're ultimate hp goal is. It isnt necessary (sp?) to swap cams for mine. :ugh:

Btw, go do some research on Ka-t.org. You will see some impressive numbers on stock cams.

I would rather run slightly larger cams than just shove more boost into the engine, cams can net you a large increase in midrange highrange power which is what the KA lacks so why stick with the stock cams?

I've spec'ed out a custom set of cams for my CADET that im having ground that should net me 232rwhp on 8 psi (now that is with it being bored over .040" and with 9.0:1 compression)

And its a very mild cam too Just playing around with you LSA's can net you alot of power
Spec if you are curious are: intake 252* ex 252* intake centerline 108* lobe center angle 108* 0.346" lift intake and exhaust Timming retarded 3*

conservative lift and duration specs are going to be used with the factory rev limit and valve train?
 
well power peak is gonna be around 6800 but it doesnt fall off after that it plateus and everything I have ever heard is the CA's stock valvetrain is good to 8400 after that is when valve float starts but the factory rev limit is 7500 so I feel good about the intended power curve gives a very broad torque band with most of the meat between 3600-5900. Also you have toi remeber this is at only 8 psi you should see what happens whe you calculate 11psi :)

Ive played around with the math for most of the bigger after market cams and I dont like them at all too peaky no low end. The cam I've described should have a decent idle more toque than stock and improved mid-higher range powerband.

Yeah so these cams keep the power within the stock rev limiter and have no issues with the stock lifers or valvespring coil bind. If these work as well as I think they will I might market them IDK lol although any of you could just grab the specs I listed above an do the same...
