Everything is a compromise, you've just got to work out what can be acheived and then work out which setup is the best for your personal application.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Above comment is spot on, thats how it would be in my mind.I would assume that its far easier to protect and build an engine from torque than revs. ________________________________________ owain wrote: A GTI-6 with a good dashboard and the seats down can outsprint an E46 M3 in July. |

Absolutely - that's why the Centrifugal S/C conversions are so (in comparison...) reliable - they're a pretty darned good compromise. |

Yea i was thinking that a hydraulic lifter having to move furthar at a higher rpm in a N/A engine is going to struggle more / cause more problems than one which doesnt have to travel so far at the same RPM due to a less agressive camshaft profile? I am sure someone who knows far more than me would be able to say! ________________________________________ 2.1 16v 306 Rallye. |

A cam with less lift is not going to work the lifters as hard as one with a high lift.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Isn't it the ramp angle of the camshaft lobe that has a greater effect on the lifters, rather than the total amount of lift?________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

The ramp angle is part of it but remember that on a high lift cam when the valve is fully open, the lifter is taking more load than normal as there is more pressure on the lifter. The easier life you can give these components the better and the longer they will last. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Direct from talking to an engine builder, he has a few championships to his name and works with a few experienced race engine builders, so I'd trust their word  Rich asked what experience "you" had not other people you've talked to.  So in that context, what has Rich done with long stroke N-a engines?? I was passing direct info from an engine builder, not "rumours". next we'll be hearing how Rich was right and Sodemo was wrong all along, they didn't need to put steel cranks in all those maxi and WRC engines, nor did they have to stick very long very expensive manifolds on them or solid tappets to get to 9k. after all standard stuff will do the job just fine? he's starting to sound like that B11BOB fella  I share Rich's view on this due to experience being priceless unlike other peoples opinions.Which are just that ________________________________________ 205 GTI6 235 bhp at 7400 rpm |
