...And some confusing info on stock Zetec cams.
OK, so I got hardcore about doing some research and comparisons on who makes a good overall street/turbo cam. I found good info, but I also found some wierd discrepencies in two major cam manufacturers stock cam specs. OK, first the Turbo cams;
************Duration****D@.50Lift*****GrossLift
Crane Cams**232/228*****210/206********.374/.366
Crower******271/271*****220/220********.374/.374
Esslinger*****258/242*****not listed*****.405/.345
Note: the Crane cams has an additional listed spec of a 110deg lobe separation, and Esslingers cams seem to be geard more toward N/A performance(even though this is their mildest grind listed)
Now, on to the wierdness I found, both Crane and Crower list specs of a stock Zetec cam(I'm assuming from a Focus) but the specs from each manufacturer are completely different
Stock Specs;
***********Duration**D@.50Lift****Gross Lift
Crane Cams*229/229***206/205******.350/.342
Crower*****290/286***206/205******.343/.352
Let me close with an invitation for anyone to voice there opinions/technical expertise on which cam would work better with a low C/R high boost turbo application(with possibly a multi-point direct-port NOS wet-system
), and lend any insight as to why the stock cam specs seem to vary so widely.
...And I'm spent!!!
