so whats the news on them svt cams that i read about

 

[cfmfocus2]

Not yet. We will be at the PRI show today and tomorrow. We will talk to Catcams today or tomorrow. We will let you know what happens.

 

[PumkinSvt]

hopefully we can finally get some cams for the svt!

 

[dirtbrown]

this could possibly go nowhere....im not gonna hold my breath...but I will cross my fingers!

 

[philsredsvt]

^^^ yeah same here buddy.

 

[kpeeks]

I wish they did both the FSVT cams & the contique/cougar VCT exhaust cams.

 

[CaysE]

In case anyone isn't aware, Cat Cams already manufactures turbo grind cams for the ST170, which is the same as the SVT. The only reason that nothing may come of this is lack of demand; the product offering is already there.

 

[cfmfocus2]

We talked to the Cat Cams at the PRI show. They noted it takes about 3 weeks for them to make the camshafts. It looks like we should be able to offer their product. If everything goes well, we should be offering their product. We will post of something later once we have more information.

Is there anything here that would benefit an non-turbo (NA) application?

I also know that cosworth has made st170 cams, but they are way too expensive, and u can only get them in Europe, for obvious reasons.

 

[hardSVT]

would cams even do that much for the SVT?

 

[WRCwannabe]

im wondering the same thing.
would cams even do that much for the svtf?
naturally aspirated

same here?? so many have told me the cams in the svt were as good as it gets!

 

[svtf1417]

well I know others who have cammed all motor cars and cams did wonders!! what would ppl think if you pulled up next to them in your SVT and they hear something a little like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdGjJz0r-ic

and would the VCT still work with these new cams or would you have to disable it? And, how come ford didnt do the VCT to the exhaust side?!?! i think thats a bunch of BS

 

[kpeeks]

VCT was put on the exhaust side in the ZX2, Cougar, Contour, & Mystique platforms. Basically its a stock Zetec without the EGR system.

If Ford had put VCT on both sides of the SVT I'd say it would prolly be putting out around 200hp or just a better off the line torque curve.

 

[volcomstone1966]

that clip is sweet that would be bad ass

 

[WRCwannabe]

is there a way of having the exhaust side VCT?
and is there a way of adjusting the VCT on stock camshafts?
