Thread: NIC cam questions

I've been heavily debating a nic cam lately. What would i need? i see zzp and other members are using a double roller, do i really need a double roller for this cam? Is it because of the loopy idle? What kind of powerband would i get with this cam, i would guess low end to mid range? what is everyone reving to? 6-6,500k? I already have 105# crow springs would these be ok and not too aggressive?

I have all gaskets and everything along with a brand spankin new xp cam sitting in my basement since last march, im procrastinating install since im afraid i won't be happy with the end results.

I really, really would like to see mid to low 12's non- intercooled with as small of a pulley i can

the car is a gt with a gen5 top swap, mods listed in sig.

I would stick with the xp since you allready have it. You should be able to hit 12's with that.

XP is also a great cam and goes GREAT with bigger injectors and a full-size IC.

It also does great with new tires.

Any power increase needs some sort of way to get it to the pavement...suspension, mounts, tires, trans...

so its either xp cam and i/c or nic cam

seems like every xp camed car is stuck in the 13's which is something that i would dread. I'm begging for 12's without the use of an i/c. Tuning all the time isn't an issue since i barely drive the car anyway. What kind of powerband is it tho?

tell me why you want to run a NIC and maybe ill tell you why you shouldnt.

This

XP with your mods should hit 12's unless you need a new driver mod.

mainly to have a little more different setup, hit 12 without i/c, run real small pulley, and the nasty idle.

you dont want a NIC if you want a fast car.

You want a NIC if you always like tuning and wondering if your gonna be buying a short block next weekend.
