If you guys check out tomei website, the new MSRP for VQ35 cams is 880 bucks.

http://www.tomeiusa.com/recentmail.asp?mid=514

Lots of options to choose from. I debated the deluboz ones but then decided on Brian Crower Stage 2. This made me rethink and I'm gonna order the Tomei ones.

Hold fast yo..... did I see 272 272 cams for under $500... I want the pro cams... I'm sure all of those fit just like the JWT would correct?..... I want some for my DEK...

McSteve

iTrader: (3)

i'm pretty sure that's 440 for each side. cos the pom cams are 880

Thats a steal if you ask me

Here's a dyno of my boys G35 before and after longtube headers and tomei cams.



The car has nitrous but this was his best N/A runs. The shop just named it that way. His best on nitrous was 379/380

What combo would I go with.. hmmm.... **** it 272 272 lol

ajcool2

iTrader: (43)

That was done with the 260's.

McSteve

iTrader: (3)

you also get a couple options for lift to choose from. Could anyone explain to me how to calculate overlap?

I'm thinking the 272s with 11.3mm int 11mm exh lift.

McSteve

iTrader: (3)

What IM was he using? Looks a little flat up top...

Grand_hustle17

iTrader: (22)

Daaaamn.... I can only imagine.... *mind runs wild*
This lmao

Probebly their own lol.... the fair off a lil better up top IIRC

As good as that graph look ur boy technically lossed low end whp n TQ... he headers in itself should've gained all across the board but it didn't, the cams lossed low end but the headers brought it to equal but look at them top end power

Mmm, probebly won't go with the most aggressive lift

ajcool2

iTrader: (43)

Stock with a 1/2 inch spacer and ported lower. He will be adding gears and an aluminum driveshaft next. My Z used to be neck and neck with his car and I'd pull away up top. Im sure he's going to walk me badddd now.

So you can buy a set Darren.

I might would if the prices was this good when the motor was out!

Crusher103

iTrader: (10)

im iffy about it, i dont believe it, it is too good to be true. Aftermarket VQ cams are always in the thousands, now we are talking less than 500?

DrunkieTheBear

iTrader: (17)

dude...

$440 for one side, you need both sides...so $880

The drunken one delivers the anus <3'r from fail.

Either using a degree wheel or request a cam card from Tomei which they may or may not not make available to the public.

Crusher103

iTrader: (10)

So its the normal price of tomei cams.....moving on.

SurraTT

iTrader: (59)

The MSRP went from 1180 to 880.

Link from first post.



Im wondering if any vendors are selling them under MSRP, as this is usually a advertised price. Like with Haltech's and such, you can get them new from vendors much cheaper then msrp

McSteve are you gonna spin this motor to 8k+?

Crusher103

iTrader: (10)

ive seen tomei cams brand new under 1G even on ebay so this doesnt surprise me.

aackshun

iTrader: (3)

Yeah like 990 :

Grand_hustle17

iTrader: (22)

i know i am

SurraTT

iTrader: (59)

ya, so now the msrp is $300 lower, maybe the "real" price will come down some also.

Grand_hustle17

iTrader: (22)

this is good enough lol

DAM...272!!! WOW! Wont that idle really nasty? Low end might be total garbage after that? I think with anything over 11mm lift you will need new valve springs too. I was considering the JWT S1 cams they are like 260 10.87mm. They actually did a cam test on a 350z in modified magazine. They dyno tested Stock cams 238(In)/240(Ex)/9.57mm, Tomei 264/10.5mm, JWT S1 cams, and the Nismo Rtune cams 262/10.82mm. Actually from the dynos the JWT S1 cam gained 19hp and 13ft-lbs. peak over the stock cams. The JWT S1 cams did not lose ANY low end torque and had a nice gain up top too! Actually low end torque increased! The JWT S1 cams made the flattest torque curve. What I found really nice was that the JWT cams gained torque and horsepower through the ENTIRE rpm band and did not lose any power over stock anywhere.

Here's the article if anyone want to check it out:

http://www.modified.com/tech/modp-10.../photo_18.html

Only thing negative about cams is the labor for install....I heard it was somewhere like $1000-$1200 + cost of the cams. BUT I think with the Haltech being able to control some cam timing you would probably pick up even more low and mid range torque.....hmm......

EDIT: Figured I'd post the dyno chart of the cam test done as well.....



STOCK = Green (hp) Blue (Tq)
NISMO = Purple
Tomei = Red
JWT = Yellow

x2 I ripped mine out to re-seal the timing cover.. I didn't want to spend a G or more on cams at the time.

iTrader: (2)

-_- just bought JWT C2's 2 weeks ago

Grand_hustle17

iTrader: (22)

Welp... based on that graph.... JWT it is..... TQ is just as important as whp, especially seeing as though I have a Tq-less DEK lol

SurraTT

iTrader: (59)

Why? The S1 is the smallest cam JWT has so low end isent hurt that bad. the cams in that test are just the ones after stock.


lol now im wanting to put cams in already!



With the IVT and EVT, possibly i could get an aggressive cam, and keep some low end too. Gonna have to wait tho, stock FWD cams for me ... for now

a crazy cam lope is nothing to me if the car aint making power... the S1's are plenty enough for a car that would make no more than 300whp.... dont need anything else for a daily

Grand_hustle17

i dont think this post served the purpose of the reason why its posted cause idk wtf im looking at lmao!!!.... the different cams???

pretty interesting read. comparison between brian crower stage 2 and 3 on a turbo 350z.

I made them an offer on ebay for 799 and they accepted.

SurraTT

iTrader: (59)

niceeee, so 834 shipped. for VQ35 cams brand new. good price imo. Sure sounds a lot better then $1100 shipped... haha

McSteve

iTrader: (3)

one of the most popular 350z cams are the gtmotorsports cams.

http://www.gtmotorsports.com/product...cat=264&page=1

they have a greater intake duration than the exhaust.

what do you guys think about mating the tomei 272 intakes with 264 exhaust cams?

ajcool2

iTrader: (43)

Ive used this a few times in the past to compare JWT's to other cams out there specifically our BC2's.
