General advice if possible.

What cams do people recommend to run 450/500 bhp.

Rest of the engine and head would be sorted, ported head, double springs, inlet, turbo etc.

I am not looking for cams that "trip over" themselves either, no point in blowing the boost out the exhaust before it’s done the job.

Thanks

I have just had a AB07 (inlet) cam fitted to mine and gained 35bhp with the same boost. Was 399.8bhp now 434.5bhp.

Drives just as nice as the standard cam and ticks over perfect.

Was Rolling Roaded on the same rollers before and after. Dyno Dynamics Rollers.

Depends on cr size of ports and turbo your running???
These days i like very close to std cr valve cut outs 25mm ports std ex cam 10 mm lift 280 duration inlet cam siemens injectors and a gt3071 turbo..
awesome set up for fast road and track car and will achieve your goals..

sorry danny cams are by norris motorport and were not reprofiled but made new especially for a t4 on a ported head [i think]

All depends then really mate,but seeing as they were specially designed for a specefic spec i wouldnt like to say...
Its all about the lift and duration on the inlet and no need for a bigger exhaust untill after 500 hp...

cheers danny, i must check what lift and duration they have,should be able to tell more then ,thing is i really want to go gt30 instead of a t4

Danny @ Enhanced Performance

Im sure the gt30 would work fine whatever the cams and could be timed slightly different to work better...
At worst take the ex cam out and put a std one back,dti inlet cam then play with verniers untill your happy...

What cr you running???

BD14 inlet and standard exhaust cam is good. Danny's figures above may be describing the BD14? not sure

danny my compression is 7.5.1[not that i understand what it means lol]

Danny @ Enhanced Performance

that will be fine although id prefer slightly higher cr..
All it means is the lower the cr the longer you wait for positive boost but a good mapper can get around that to a certain degree...
