Cam question....
« on: April 05, 2011, 07:46:43 PM »
Hey there guys.  I have a quick question to ask.  As some of you know Im installing my 2.3 stroker.  Now Ihave the fp3065 in my currently built 2.0 and fp2's or comp cam 101200's, same cams.....  Now in my stroker I have Kelford 272's in it.  Now Im setting this car up for road racing and time attack mainly but also do a little bit of drag racing, but that isn't what I predominantly want it for.  Now with my built 2,0 I reach 31+psi at around 44-4700 depending on the gear which is ok on the street for the being a 2.0.  Now since Im going to a stroker, im really doing this for a faster spool and more torque down low.  Now my question is, should I put the fp2''s into the stroker instead of the kelford 272's since those are like other companys 280's? or will being that its a stroker over come that.  Im thinking the spool is going to be roughly the same with that size of a cam in there.  Now when I bought the motor, the guy said when he had hks 272's on there he spooled up to full boost around 3800 with a very close turbo to mine.  But with the kelfords it went down some what.  Now they aren't identical turbos so im not sure.....What do yall think....

The kelford cams are bad-asses.  You shouldn't give up much low end torque at all over say, an HKS 272.  Kelford designed them to compete with 280 cams, but also to have the low-mid of a good 272.  I honestly think you will be fine.


Try the kelfords first, if you don't like them, you can swap to the FP's.  I honestly think you'll love the Kelfords though.  Whichever cams you choose, I want the ones you don't want.  :P

Bahahahahaha, my plan is bullet proof.


But nah, seriously I would stick with the kelfords.  The Strokers have some serious lungs and definitely need some cams that will allow them to breathe.  With the 2.3 and the compression is has you will be fine.  It will spool that 3065 nice as hell, and the Kelfords will definitely help the mid to high range.  It'll be a great combo.  I know on the G4CS I had, the 3076R spooled like nobodies business.  It spooled really close to a 16G does on a 2.0l, and never stopped pulling.

FP gets Comp to make them some  nice cams specifically for strokers.  maybe have a look at those?

you can always sell one or both of the other sets
