Has anyone heard of these cams? I just bought some off of a trusted buyer, but can seem to find any specs on them. No where online can I find these. Can anyone help?

 

Ummm, you bought them without knowing the specs? LOL.

You may want to have a mod move this to FI. Since Scotts went out of business years ago, you'd have to find a FI vet that's still on the boards. There have been posts on this though in that section.

You need to search for "Scotts Performance". Here are a few threads that came up:

Most folks do their research before spending their hard earned $$$! Good luck.

 

beat me to it lol

But wow, how to answer this... I would slap whoever tricked you

 

excellent job OP on buying this POSHlT!!!

 

It's highly likely they are copies of a JWT cam. These were made after Greg Scott (a la Scott Performance) left the business and sold it to Terrible Ted T. Ted was a salesman with only $ on the mind. Greg Scott had a passion for Z cars - they are different people, Ted just bought the name.

 

I bought it from builtzmotors.com, I trust they're good, and he mentioned they are designed after JWT stg 1 cams. Also he rev limited at 7200 rpm when he had them installed. So I'm using this info and installing them, hope everything goes well.

 

lol

 

What in the hell does the 7200 rev limit have to do with cams?

Do yourself a favor and return the cams now please.

<Insert face palm image here>

 

hope u have a built motor to rev to that all the time....

 

What difference would that make he already has the cams right

OBVIOUSLY it can handle it

 

I 'm building my block right now, just picked up a complete motor and starting a build. Obviously don't know what I'm doing, but just reading and trying to figure it out as I go.

 

Wow man. I wish I was rich enough to spend money on **** I know nothing about.

 

Don't be a hater, I got the motor for 400 and the cams for 300 just a small investment do this, but overall I just like ripping sh*t apart and see how things work.

 

At $300, they might be a good deal, if they are "good" copies of the JWT S1 - those give a solid boost from 5500-6500 rpms.

 

Good luck, at $300 it might be worth the gamble.
But then again... you never know.

If you plan to boost the rev limiter consider some upgraded valve springs. Between valve float and the unknown lift it would just be "safer".

And have your machinist look at the head and block to confirm the clearences are sufficent.

 

yeah trhanks for the advice, I plan on completely over hauling this motor. Getting the valve springs, pistons, rods and whatever else necessary to keep this motor from blowing

 

Buy a set of dial indicators and measure them yourself. Hopefully you didn't get a set of stock cams.

 

gl with the cams


what turbo's and EMS are you going to do with your built motor??

 

getting them measured for sure.

 

I havent decided the turbo, but I'm jsut running a utec with my S/C i'm trying to get rid of now.

I gotta build this thing first.
