Cam for faster spool-up?

[snowracer69]

I've been thinking alot about how to get my EGT's down and manigable without going the direct route to twins... don't have the $$$ for twins, and am not sure I want to go through the whole process of putting them on.



Would a DD or PDR cam do anything for me with my KSB1-B? I spend 8 months a year at 5000' elevation and the other 4 at 4000'. Just looking for a little cheaper way to a quicker spool and lower EGT's.



Thanks, Josh

I am interested in opinions here also. High altitude and quick spool ups are marginal at best with any turbo from what I've seen.

The funny thing with my KSB1-B is that it's not really laggy unless you're not getting into it. With the tight 89% t/c, if you are under 10 PSI boost, then it's pretty laggy... If I'm gettin'-it-on though when racing or giving somebody a ride, as soon as it starts to spool, 40 PSI comes RIGHT NOW! Had a friend w/ me yesterday that hadn't rode in my pickup before and I was doing about 45 MPH in 4th lockup and just rolled into it... when it finally came to full tilt spool his mouth went :--) and his eyes were as he grabbed for the Oh-I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER handle. He looked over and said "Holy I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER, this thing gets it on"... I told him I'd give him a real ride someday w/ a launch.

Josh, I would have to agree with you there. Once that sucker spools it goes like hell. My truck does 99 mph in the 1/4 mile but 60 foot times stink being 2wd. I'm just trying to figure out what to do next.
