Cam Tech plus 127350 lockout questions

Ok, let me start out with does this look normal
comp 127550






Ok, 2nd question has any one ran the 127350 cams lockout? Cause I am about too. What was the side effects?

They look fine to me?

I'm running lockout on my 127500s. The lockouts are a little safer than limiters, but will cut down on the top end power a little bit.

UPS has some good stuff on the way to take care of topend issues. MORE BOOST

I thought my 127350’s looked a bit beat just like yours but then checked a few other cars and that seems to be normal. I’m not thrilled with it but normal.

I ran my 127350’s locked out and the car seemed slightly soft (as soft as 19.5psi can feel) so I went back to 20deg limiters. I like the drivability with the limiters a bit better. They are a PITA to degree though!

If I was running the car at the strip a lot I would probably go with lockouts for simplicity reasons. But on the street I think the limiters drive better.

Pretty soon I'll be able and willing to up the boost. Finally doing the auto conversion in my car...just waiting for it to arrive from Mike @ Powerhouse.

All the issues you're having has me worried about doing cams in the future. Guess I'll stick with my stock sticks for a while longer.

Eforce throttle body+lopey cams+Big gapped pistion rings+open pcv=Trouble... Lito had the car running perfect with closed pcv(like stock) idling at 850 but my car was drinking engine oil badly even with catch can. These 127350 cams is just a temporary step for me. I needed this in a hurry and didn't have time to wait on a set of custom cams. If this fixes my crazy issues with open pcv breathers and fast idle issues then I will order a set of high lift great idling custom blower cams from L&M

Eww...how badly are you talking? Mine can easily use 1/4 - 1/2 qt every 1000 miles or so. That's with a fully open PCV system too.

 

[redstangs9308gt]

About half a quart every 1000 miles. Maybe a little more and fewer miles but pretty close to that

FYI, I don't see or smell any oil on my plugs though so it must just burn off fine in mine. Either way, good luck.

I really wish I had listened to Ron@foxlake when he tried to talk me out of those 127550 cams. When I called Chandler@brenspeed today to tell him what was up he said "Man I have had every cam made for our cars in my car at one time or another he said I would have talked you out of those 550 cams. A few mintues of running and they foul plugs and you can forget about driveabilty" I said wow I know that now lol

Thanks Yeah no oil on plugs either. Its all going out my pcv system and being sucked in the intake galley of the supercharger. I took my throttle body off because I broke my old one and you could wipe oil out of there for DAYS!!!!!!!!!

I put an admittedly elaborate breather system (still “sealed”) on my car and I don’t even get an oil film in my blower anymore. It can be fixed, it’s just a lot of work and all custom.

[redstangs9308gt]

Any problems tuning or was it a cake walk?

No tunning issues at all, car runs like a champ.

That is why I don't have those cams in mine.
