what do you guys think about mixin it up a little bit? 95 intake cam with a HO exhaust cam and housing with the MP45 blower on my LD9? just wanna get some opinions, nothings in writing yet....

It has been done before...I say go for it. With forced induction its always a good idea to get the exhaust out quicker.
well its been
theorized speed racer z's setup (ld2 intake and ho exhaust cams) didnt produce as much torque as say spyhunter's or brandon fetter's engines because of the cam differences (fetter has ho's and spyhunter was running secret cams). but thats just what ive
heard on the subject.
with the 95 intake cam its actually smaller than the ld2 cam so IMO would make things even worse.
worth a try to see though i guess...
Needing 2.3 oil pump stuff? PM me...
I had planned to run the secret intake and ho exhaust cam. Brad how did you hear it was the cam differences in power?

In a turbocharged application I agree with that. I was reading on a couple different forums where it can actually be beneficial to have a bigger intake cam for a turbocharged setup. Thats because turboing is based off exhuast and that affects the spooling and whatnot. Superchargers react totally different in respect to camshafts. Imo its the same intake cam as the secret cams with a better flowing exhaust cam would be beneficial to a supercharger.
thats what i was thinking.... get the exhaust out as fast as possible. your already forcing air into the engine, its not like its being naturally aspirated. you got the rush of air into it, get it out faster and theoretically it should make power faster....

mike- like i put in bold... it was something i heard on here before.. and even then it was only theorized. it was never proven nor unanimously thought of as the direct reason his setup didnt produce the kind of torque others were putting down.

I have to say that in those turbo engines I also theorize the same thing.
