Hello everybody im a newbie. Is the trex cam from thunder motorsports worth it? I dont care if it idles rough or runs like a race car i want power.

 

it dynos over 400 hp to the wheels with stock heads...id say so......everyone i talk to wishes they got a more aggressive cam (maybe not t-rex aggressive but..)

 

It's the same price as every other thunder racing cam so on a hp/$ ratio it is the best.

 

Well ya need a 4k+ stall being a A4. Plus i would not feel safe spinning a stock bottom end as high as they did to get those numbers. I would go with something that makes power down low. That cam seems to be more for bragging rights more than anything unless you plan to build a motor that can rev to the sky no problem.

 

Benefits:

- 451 RWHP / 406 RWTQ!!!!! (with LT's of course, which you've already got)
- while I haven't heard one running with it yet, I'm sure the sound (@ idle especially) is killer!!
- "bragging rights", if you'd like them

Downfalls:

- will need a serious computer re-tuning!!
- requires a high-stall converter (well, for optimum performance), and/or lower gears
- requires upgrading other parts internally, mainly valvetrain (pushrods, springs)
- fuel mileage go "bye! bye!"

Still, I think that's one helluva radical cam, and something I would most definitely venture into!! Especially considering the price is the same as any other cam!

 

how do u think this cam would run wiht ported heads.more than 500rwhp?

 

yeah i want to go with this cam so bad...i have a really mild cam on my car right now, so wish i would have went bigger

 

No one has been able to duplicate the 451rwhp. Not even close. I would look for good performance at the track but not big #s.
