i am looking to do a few more mods before the winter and possibly selling my car. but here are my questions on powerhause's site they say you can upgrade to a tt intake cam to yield more hp in vthe upper rpm after being tuned for poper a/f ratio. any one have any input on these? why still staying non turbo -as i might try it can some one post the na intake and the tt intake cam spec's if this works out it might be cheap upgrade . Also does the is300 have a heat spacer on the intke manifold from the factory? and if so it should work with our cars right. and last didnt someone post that you can use a GM replcament /perf alternator as a replcaemnt for the stock unit with a little bit of splicing just wondering as i want to get a higher amp system- thanks Brett

p.s any one have any vidoes of there non turbo supra on the dyno???

Now I'm beginning to understand why there is so much bad information out there. First, there's absolutely no duration difference between an NA and TT intake cam:

In fact, the GE intake cam has slightly more lift than the GTE intake cam:

You'll get just as good of results with proper tuning of the motor with a GE intake cam.

I also noticed PHR advertises an 8.7:1 for their 3mm hg: http://www.powerhouseracing.com/suprana_turbo.shtml How the heck do they come up with that? Sorry, but I've documented that a 3mm hg compressed on an NA head contributes enough to the clearance volume to drop the CR to ~8:1. Lance Wolrab concurs: "For every millimeter of squish, we get 5.81cc of volume."

I wish these shops would post some supporting info on their results.

Yes... But, it's been suggested that the cam stagger should be higher on the exhaust side not the intake side: http://www.to4r.com/techcylinderhead.html It's your call. Do what you want.

...lol it looks like powerhouse has alot of things thats just arent how things are ...

Correct...

enuff said, i was jjust trying to see if there was a couple hp to be had with swapping out the intake cam as i have a exhuast cam driven distributor ;-

so if our exhaust cam drives the distributor...why would we need a second adjustable cam gear.... by changing the timing of the cam gear, the distributor timing would change too right? so i could just change the BTDC on the cam gear

or r you supposed to set the cam gears, and then reset the BTDC to stock (+10 right?)
