Thats a big cam. I notice that the top rpm is 6200 which seems kinda low for a 242 degree cam. Probably because of the radical lift of the grind.

I would be more inclined to the 12-467-8 cam with the 230 degree on the intake. Me I'm looking into the 08-466-8 cam for my combination.

cool man...what kind of combo are you running?

My car is mostly street with an occaisional trip to the track. My set up is in my signature.

POS350Z · 06-19-2005, 11:43 PM

wow....you've got a pretty nice set up on that T/A....looks like your car has alot of torque.....my best is 12.8@110....but I'm in Cali (Lemoore) right now and the best its done at Famoso is 13.8@106

......everyone tells me with my AFR's and Miniram I need waaaaay more cam than a ZZ9....and I'm not paying TPIS another $375 for a cam..

Holy cow, you actually bought a new ZZ9? Damn...

I like the XFI cams too. They look great on paper.

Yeah, with the TPI it helps to get off the line real good. If the race was longer than 1320 ft a lot of the cars would run me down. Hehehehe. But its not and thats what the car is set up for.
