  • rpm with new cam

    I am looking into getting a new cam, if i get one it is going to be nice and big and i will get some valve springs with it, but anyways here is the question. With a new cam i am going to make more hp up top right? So i am going to want to rev the car higher right? So i need to bumb my rev limiter right? How do i reset my rev limiter?

    Right. Right. Right. Computer programming.

      you'll want to look at your rev limiter as well as adjusting fuel delivery... doesn't look like much is available to help with that right now except maybe MAF+. With your new powerband, your motor is going to be all over the place in terms of rich or lean conditions.

          So if i just buy a cam and put it in, the car will run find to 6k rpm and it will still be benifical right? Cause i have money for a cam but not a bunch of other stuff.

            depends on which cam you chose and whether you will need to upgrade the springs, pushrods, and lifters

              I think he was talking about if he got just the cam and various components with it without computer tuning. And yes...you would still feel a difference with a cam without upping the limiter. But you might not be taking full advantage of it. But it also depends on what cam you get and how high it raises your power band....look around for a while and find a cam that would suit your needs without computer tuning, if thats what you're trying to do.
