Yeah cheers guys.. One opinion I've been given is 24psi.. But I don't see how that could be the case as long as the spring tension etc is right and you aren't revving it stupidly high you shouldn't get any valve float (which seems to be the issue with these heads throwing shims),

Also I could probably find it somewhere but does anyone know what the biggest cams you can go without losing the vct

Poncams but why are you doing cams anyway? Usually a lot of other priorities for the dollar.

Hey guys I have gone ahead with this neo30 build. Instead of starting a new thread I'll just ask in this one.

Have just setup the timing belt with one idler and a tensioner (one above water pump). All the marks line up pretty well. Is it worth while getting an Adjustable cam-gear for the exhaust side?

I'll be keeping VCT so guessing I dont need anything for inlet side

(Standard cams to start with)

Cheers

Ian

I have a spare VCT ring (good for dialing in cams on 30's) for the intake side if you would like to purchase. Apparently they have about 4 deg of movement.

If it was me id do 260 type b poncams/ neo head/Precision 6466 T4 /e85, comp in the low 9's

the only trans that won't explode would be a glide or a Th400.

thats a combo id sell to a customer wanting the best of both worlds

Id prefer a neo head over a 26 head as it would come up quicker on a torque converter due to inlet manifold design

and i bet it would make more power under the curve making it a better street proposition

its a better street deal all round

Need to run into the 8s to even start to justify a 26 head

cheers

I've already got the 35/40 from my sohc setup (it's a VL) and a re401a auto. I Got the manifold with a heap of parts and it has t3 flange so later I'll upgrade the turbo and manifold or just get flange changed. I plan on putting some type b poncams in it but would just like to see the difference from std cams.

Close to 9:1 comp
