I was thinking of going with cushman stage one cams but was reading that alot of guys with the hitechs stage IIs are all running 300+ N/A with full boltons. Anyone on stangnet have any experience with hitech?
I had them on my 2000GT. Also ran BBK LTs w/ catted H, Cobra catback (for irs), 75mm plenum/tb, udps and tune. Car ran great once tune was finished. Pulled very strong from 3200+ and no loss down low. Didn't make it to the dyno before selling. However, very very noticeable seat difference and tire slip while shifting high end.
Very nice guys to deal with also.
I wish I had heard of HiTech when my Big-Bore was being built. Off the Shelf I don't think you can get a better N/A cam than those. In fact I would go as far and say that those are the only properly spec'd N/A cam off the shelf. I would have had a set of HiTech Stg 3 installed in my car but I am happy with my Crowers.
a stage II cam on stock stall?
Don't you think you should be asking why?With HiTech's yes other companys no. They don't even recommend needing gears for the HiTech stage IIs as other companies do.
That is the difference between a properly spec'd N/A cam( HiTech ) and a not so good one( VT )...
Seriously though, yes the HiTech have more low end power than other cams like VT so you can use the HiTech cams with the stock TC and stock gears, but it is not the ideal circumstance. They do work better with a 3500 RPM Stall TC and a minimum of 3.73 gears like other cams do.
What are you even talking about? Cams on most every car require or are benefited by the same mods - including every other mustang cam (they must all be wrong right?). Plus these stage II's don't require aftermarket springs, meaning they don't need higher seat pressure to close the valve as quick as possible at high rpms, how is that a good thing?That is the difference between a properly spec'd N/A cam( HiTech ) and a not so good one( VT )...
Good point, here are what VT stg 1's look like:CobraRed, good post. A better comparison would be comparing those dyno graphs of Hitechs to dyno graphs of Cushman, Comp and Crower cams, and comparing power curves to rpm.
Good point, here are what VT stg 1's look like:
