Default Bought some kelford s1 cams for my non-revup

I just bought some kelford s1 cams for my car. Im really stoked about putting these on. im also gonna put better valve springs, rev-up rod bolts (stronger than non-revup DE) and rev-up oil pump as well.

Do you recommend putting anything else while my car is naked?

Anyone have kelford cams? it would be great to hear a review about these cams.

The mods i have are: jwt popcharger, z tube, motordyne 5/16 spacer, UR underdrive crank pulley, grounding wires, design chaos tb spacer, engine damper, aramid isothermal gasket, coolant bypass mod, stillen exhaust, kinetix hfc, dc headers, 3.5 pumpkin/vlsd swap, osiris tune.

Are you going to dyno before and after? I know I'd be interested in your gains as I have nearly the same bolt-ons and I'm looking at cams next.

IF these are the ones that were for sale on here. If so you bought turbo cams for your N/A car? If they are the N/A cams and were listed wrong I am curious how they do. I was looking at the Kelford N/A b cams for something I am considering.

In for numbers, cams are something I am looking at as well. Keep us posted.

hey man, i bought the cams that were listed on this website. Are you sure kelford makes two different kinds of cams? one for N/A and for Turbo? If so, that would suck. I thought these would be great for N/A. any help would be great thanks

+1... this will make all the difference in the world.

I did a bunch of research prior to going with cams (and headers)... without knowing what you're getting into it could be all for not.

FWIW, even though I did see gains, I don’t recommend it based on cost/benefit… and for those that want to go into full build – yes I’m aware of all the performance benefits – but again, the cost associated may not be worth it (for most).
