was ordering AFR185 heads with pedestal mounts a mistake?

 

No...I chose that for simplicity and it's a street car with cruise and a/c

 

CamQuest likes the below. They also show the XE282HR as a "great fit". All the cams make 515-525HP, torque peak moves and average power varies based on lobe separation ranging from 110-114. I manually added the TFS cams to their database. The one shown is the Stage 3.

 

Im gonna get Ed to grind me one, I was just curious on people's opinions because if he's a few months out then I may buy a OTS cam just until his arrives. I have the Cam Quest but did not know you could manually make a cam. I know you can manually enter head flow numbers and all that but not cams

It's a PIA; you have to find the correct text file, then copy and paste a similar cam, then edit the data. I find it's fun to get a quick ballpark idea versus using a more complex simulator. Plus it annoys certain people, which is always a plus.

 

Any way you could give me numbers on the xe282 vs the TF stage 4...(3000‐7000rpm cam)

 

TFS4 - 522HP@6500, 167 avg HP
493FT-LB@4500, 195 avg TQ

XE282 - 515HP@6000, 157 avg HP
522FT-LB@4500, 204 avg TQ

Obviously take the numbers with a grain of salt, GIGO and all.

Note the TFS cams have slow ramps compared to XE cam. I think Ed prefers ramps somewhere in-between as a good compromise.

So pretty close...I was just curious

 

Man I want that program to play with!!! Looks like it’s not downloadable. I’d love to stick my custom’s data in it.

 

Need a target rpm
I wouldn't bother tho
You need more head

But I will play 243/258 on 110

 

"If" you like the XFI 236-14 grind, as mentioned, I have it in stock... In billet steel, not SADI.

Also have a few SADI custom camshafts in stock that you may like. These are new and are from the back-orders in February that finally came in.

On another note, customs are running seven to ten business days from time of order to shipment from the manufacturer.

Sounds good to me. I'll put in my order in a few weeks when I get paid, thanks for chiming in and letting me know

 

Good to see the wait isn’t too bad. When I got my cam from Ed it was about 2-3 weeks from date of purchase to delivery. Pretty damn quick.
