Hey everyone, long time no post. I am looking to start collecting parts to go forced induction, most likely twin turbo on my R3 48 degree. I have heard (Haven't phoned around yet as I am not ready to order right now) that finding a cam core that will go to the desired LSA I am looking for may be tough. Our last 48 degree deal we did was this year, and I think it was Cam Motion or else Bullet had the cores, but it was an NA deal.

Anyone heard of where some cores may be?

rough plan is to de-stroke my current combo to about 440ci. I will probably go to my W9 top end at the same time, and so far, I am happy with borg warner turbos on my other builds. I was thinking a pair of S475's with an 83mm turbine on the exhaust. Not totally sure on AR, but probably 1.10. These would be t4 housings as well. Most likely I would go with MS3 Pro at this point in time, and a 2 speed of some sort. Like I said, it's a rough idea at this point. I am currently still finishing up my new street truck project, a 408ci LS with a billet borg warner S476 T6 with a 96mm turbine and 1.32 AR. The truck will take over more of the street duty, and I will move the Aspen more to a race car with mufflers and a license plate.

Thanks!

Mancini had some cores a while back, on clearance sale.

This guy makes some nice flanges:

Thanks for the reply Airwoofer, looking on their site, they don't seem to have any.

As for flanges, I already water jet my own as I am a draftsman in the fabrication world. I have a few sets, I should put a set up for sale in the parts section.

Talk to Brett Miller or Brad Bowers, I think they had a source for cam cores.
I have been thinking about going turbo if my nitrous combo ever burns down but not sure how much I'd have to change.

Try Danny at predator cams.

If you go 55mm comp will make you whatever you want . And it's fairly reasonable. I thought you were running a ritter block.

Thanks guys, I will look into those sources.



The Ritter block was a customers engine. I have ran a 673AD R3 for the past 4 or 5 years now I think.

I know of a complete R3/W8 engine setup ready to run in the Tampa area. CFE W8 heads and intake, .900" roller cam, no turbos, est. 2400 HP. Was built for a customer going to run it in a drag race Viper, customer backed out of the deal for financial reasons. PM me if you are interested.

I have R3 48 deg w8 heads. 3.58 crank 6" rods 4.08 diamond pistons 11cr. cam is SMRE but that was designed for procharger.
