So I'm doing a 1911 with 36dells
Looked at alot of threads that say Raby's 9550 does everything from keeping head temps down to removes rust. Most people say 8.3 to 1 for max with FI. Other folks seam to be running higher compression with carbs, but????? Are you still using a 9550 and just upping the compression or are you using a different cam/grind? My goal is a streetable hotrod that revs quick/ idles well and is alot more fun than my tired old 1.7 I'm looking at his valvetrain kits but want to understand what people are using and the"numbers" before I commit to a cam. Thanks!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

Just place the order for the valve train kit that includes the cam and lifters.
Then a member of my team will schedule a time for you to speak with me so I can drill you with a dozen + questions.. By the end of that conversation I will have chosen a cam thats optimum for your application. here we do what is required, and since the cam is the most important component within the confines of the TIV engine it deserves 15 minutes of my time to select.. The 9550 gets lots of press, because it is my most sold camshaft, because it allows the use of stock FI and offers 20% more power than the stocker as well as cooler running and better MPG... But it certainly isn't THE CAM for use for your Carbureted 914 :-) |
