I'm working on some of the cam profiles, to add to Desktop Dyno 2k... does anyone have one, for the MTC-5 camshaft?

 

doward, that is a melling cam, correct

 

Yes. Melling MTC-5

 

sorry man, i tried to help you out, but their site is down for some upgrades right now. their main site was the only one that would even say anything about thier cams, did you try their online catalog, i looked, but i didn't see anything.

 

Yep, nothing. I need to find a melling book, in an auto parts store!

 

try advance auto, they are supposedly a dealer, however on their website, they only have oil pumps from melling(kinda wierd i think) try the local speed shop. i think that bryant was telling me about a speedshop out there somewhere

 

is this what u need to know...204/214 @ .050, .420/.443 lift

 

i believe that is what he wanted if you got them from the melling MTC-5 cam for the 2.8L

 

That was on a forum and the guy was talkin about that one he put in his 2.8 fiero

 

yea but doward needs to know for sure, if you are sure, then good to go, if not, then i don't know what to say

 

heres the link to what he said...take from it what u will...thats all i could find for ya...
www.automotiveforums.com/t318603.html

 

i haven't read that link, i will let that one for doward, as he needs the info. rather than saying that is what you think it is, it is better to just post the link and let poeple make their own decissions. (just a hint of advise)

 

I created a profile when I was est your hp a while back.

Its not hard to create one though if you know your specs. Which you do

 

oops, meant to post new topic

 

My specs are -

278/288 SAE duration
204/214 @ .050
.422/.444" lift
107 ICL/117 ECL
112 LSA

I don't know my valve open/close points, though.

 

yea doward did too, thanks again for the help on that one doward, sorry i couldn't return the favor for you man. holly **** doward, you are gonna use that thing in the new TURBO engine?
that thing is a turbo cam from he11, man i gots to come over there and go for a ride with you when you get the new engine in. that thing is gonna be sick

 

that's the cam he's running now, 87blue.

 

if that is the one that he is running now, then i hate to see the one he is gonna be running on the new engine

 

a 204/214 @ .050 cam isn't that big....its tons smaller than the one you're planning.

 

alan you are correct, but his is on a turbo application, and for a turbo application, that is prety good. turbo applications respond better to cams like that one than they do one like the one i am ordering on the 15th. for us n/a guys, the one i am ordering is the top of the ladder, but for turbo guys that is way way too much. i got a few friends that are turbo guru's like doward is and they have taught me some things along the way about turbo's

 

yeah, you're right. but, that cam is plenty mild for a turbo application.

 

you are prolly right on that one, but personally i would do some more work before i set on a turbo cam that way i can be positive that i got the best cam for my mods(if i were building a boosted engine)

 

Im thinking about getting this cam, im preparing my car for a turbo and i think this cam would work nicely. Its slightly more aggressive then the mtc-5.

turbo cam

 

personally i think that the 250801 from crane would be the best powergetter for a turbo, but that is just me. i think that it may be a little much, but hold the heck on when the turbo comes up on full boost. this cam is one that you want it to come up on boost aroun 3,000 to 4,000. what do you think doward?

 

The cam I have now, is a GREAT cam, for a stock motor + mild boost (up to about 10psi)

The cam in the new turbo motor, will be a solid cam. I'll also be making sure with my new intake plenum kit, that you can get the damn valve covers off, WITHOUT removing the intake.

I'm keeping everything under wraps, until I'm MUCH closer to my goal.

Odds are, Alan will be the first to see/know what's going on with my new motor

 

That would also be a really good cam for a turbo application

 

yea the one i am running is a solid cam too. i don't blame you about the engine specifics, though i think that i know some of them already, remember i am alot closer to you than alan is
hey doward are you going to the track this weekend if the rain holds off and it dries out a little? i am debating on going to jax raceway on saturday night, if you want to go, and don't got the money let me know, i will spot you just for ***** and giggles!
