F/I build cams
hey hows it going I'm looking for anyone who might have built or have any insight on the avenue I'm about to take. i currently have a non revup DE 350z with motormen plenum spacer as well as an aem cai kinetic hfcs and the motor dyne tdx v2 catback. I've finally got enough money to start actually building internals and i was interested in the JWT c9 cams for the immediate future and within 6 or so months going for the vortices supercharger. I'm not sure if stock bottom end will hold but with just the cams i know it should be fine and the supercharger on its own should be the same story I'm just not sure how mixing them would result. I've also looked at replacing the rods but I'm not sure if that'll be happening just yet.

I ran JWT C2 with a mod'd procharger(pushed 13psi) and the cams made a huge difference over stock. Ive never run BC, but have heard plenty good things.
what do you plan to tune with and what are you going to do with your fuel system?

well i have the uprev osiris tuner as to fuel system when we upgrade to the supercharger i was considering upgrading to bigger pump along with 650 injectors. seeing as how c9 cams are amongst the most aggressive i was afraid that with so much lift and duration maybe the cylinders might over pressurize for what the rods or head gaskets can take. and I've been looking at this forum for a few years searching for someone to take c9 cams to a vortices setup so i appreciate you telling me to keep searching, but if you see something i may have missed please let me know.

it does seem like an excessive amount of lift. I would factor in how it will idle and how it will tune. My C2 are a ~260* and it idles rough and 'searches' ...

Mine is done via Uprev.
For a street turbo , the C2 is a good choice..still good spool....for a Vortech you can be a bit more aggressive.

OP. Are you planning on just running cams than installing a vortec? Although I have heard of a few owners who have done came swaps in car - doesnt C9s require the head to be clearanced? [Assuming you are attempting to do this with the block still in the car.]
Planning on doing another build thread?
