Hey kyle im looking at buying darrens (JETR31) cam (old one he is removing) just quickly will this cam suit a standard head? im running a gt35/40 what sort of power range should i expect with this cam? Cheers Ben

Yeah, that makes sense, I was thinking about a stage 1 jpc/crow cam, they reckon that would be peak power at 5500, what would the equivalent in a tigh cam be worth? would it need springs? they reckon the stage 1 jpc does, I didnt get the specs off them, but I dunno if theyre just trying to upsell me, would you like fries with that kind of deal. Are you able to give me a price and specs on a similar tigh cam and a price on springs if i cant get away with the stockies? Thanks again, steve.

Cheers Ben Users of this cam in s.a that are on this forum to ask: Monster-3540 ase plenum/ase exhaust vl nitron-3540-bresciani intake-extreme exhaust mani blackjet-standard intake-standard exhaust-3540 Wyndup- 3540-na intake with jd custom- standard exhaust mani Burst-3540-bresciani plenum-subzero exhaust mani standard heads fine, they typically peak at 6500rpm and hold the power to 6700rpm as a average when slightly retarted. cheers darren

Yep, worked good with previous setup, im going to a Rajab plenum and high mount but keeping this cam with a standard head. I couldnt tell you the 'powerband' but wasnt laggy with a 0.82 35/40 and made power right through to 6800 from memory.

More comp, rajab etc..torque monster:) Be like VLCOTY's (jasons)setup nearly then, that another same cam user..nearly running..will upset a few people on anzacs this summer cheers darren

I'm sure with the right tuner you would be very happy with a Haltech. 6BOOST

Hey kyle, i am in the process of building my new motor, i have decided to go with spool rods and mahle 20thou forged pistons. I was originally goin to choose the popular CP pistons however i was told that unlike mahle pistons CP's do not have anti friction coatings! I dont know if this is vital for a motor that will be seeing 350 - 400rwhp. My question is what head gasket thickness will i need to use if the pistons are said to give a 8.5:1 CR? Also what do you think of permaseal MLS/R headgaskets? Also if use a GT3582r at what rpm will i be seeing full boost? I will be using a standard head with say a crow cams stage 2 cam, acl race series bearings, arp mains studs and 1/2inch arp head studs(is standard size head studs sufficient?) Motor will be running pump fuel. Thank you heaps Dimi

Any help/advice?

hi kyle very informative thread thanks i did not read the whole lot so i appoligise if its been covered already. I have noticed that the waste gate location on your rb30 vl mannifolds are not direct in line with the exhaust flow, im keen on buying one however when i haved fab my other mannis my self i tried diffrent locations for the gate mounting.And had boost controll issues till i placed the mounting plate direct in line with the flow path. Mainly this was used for rotaries only and my boosted performance was only with theses motors is this a issue with piston powered motors that you have found or is the location not important vs fitting all the gear next to the motor ? cheers in advance
