Best accelerating camshaft? (high rpm,high torque)
i was afraid i would need to explain further.
hmmm.. but i really need to know quick before the camshaft i just bought ships.
I'm just looking for a quick and responsive camshaft with stock 8.5 compression,something with almost too much torque that i will have to easily throttle into. other things i will worry about later if needed.
The normal Billet parts and governor removal are taken care of already,thanks.

the .275 cam i ordered is like a middle between the jr and the sr besides the .275 having a 109LSA compared to Mamba jrs nice looking 104 LSA.
So you two don't know. i'm hoping someone that does will see this post and reply soon.
i may just need to adjust the torque converters stall speed.
Sorry i just REALLY want the best quality for the $100 i paid.

Are you 100% sure? the isky cam is the same thing except less duration?
and what makes you think that?
i'm just testing you to see if you know what you're talking about. What would make it fall on its face?
stock besides : 18pound springs (UNTIL I GET A BETTER CAM RECOMMENDATION) performance exhaust and intake.

Sounds like you already know if you're testing us? I wouldn't recommend a cam to anyone without engine details, weight, gearing etc. Sounds like you want a cam, not necessarily the right one for the job. BTW, 18# springs with the 275 won't cut it....

i GUESS gear ratio is necessary to add so:
4:1 ratio. 48 tooth driven 12 tooth driver with 15 inch tires.
i apologize if i'm coming off on the wrong foot or anything bad it's just i'm trying to get the best cam for my setup in case i need to exchange my ordered 275cam monday morning .
let me think..
a gx390 carb i would like to work well with the cam (its on my list but dont want it if it won't benefit)
The block i don't mind clearancing for lift and i suppose i could work with a 36# spring kit only if it is well worth it Even though the cam i chose says for 18pound springs.
i wont hesitate to adjust the engagement speed of the torque converter with a yellow or maybe even a white driver spring.
This is the cam i purchased but am not sure about now: https://www.OldMiniBikes.com/275-Grind-Welded-Lobe-Clone-Core-Cam.html?category_id=1641 the .275,not the f-275. But like i said, my cam preference is quick with torque and fast rpms to match my gearing. Think of it like getting a car's 0-60 time as quick as possible
and going as fast as you can 0-100mph. metaphorically speaking for a kart of course.

Ok, so it's on a kart? If you have a 4:1 static gear, the TAV multiplies that by 2.7:1 for low or first gear. Not sure how tall your tire is. Secondly, if it's a Comet TAV2 or knock off, they typically do not like high rpms. You can modify them as said, but even at 5500 the driven is fighting centrifugal force. Third, on a heavier kart, I think the 275 is gonna be a bit much.

Yes it's on a kart. a really lightweight one. on the 4:1 ratio it loves to spin the tires with the stock cam but it gets up and going pretty quickly, i may even need to add a cement block or 2 in the back to help with the traction. 15inch rear and 13 inch front tires by the way.
i just like the feeling of acceleration in moderation just like driving a heavy tuned sports car. every millimeter of throttle will have a big impact on acceleration.

It is a Hemi .i dont mind clearancing the block if needed. If i was to upgrade to higher compression would a 14cc be too much for this cam? it sounds like a really nice bump in torque and power.
I was in a rush to find out about the cam because i didn't know if OldMiniBikes shipped on weekends.
