cam question

[cemnt guy]

with a camshaft with a grind that is such that power drops off at say 6000rpm, will that change if the car is boosted or stroked or both? i know that boosted cams r different than na but just curious about the cam . thanks, rich

Boosted cars can carry rpm past where a cam would normally fall off

Rich,

As Troy has already pointed out, forced induction can slightly raise the rpm range of the cam.

A stroker would make the cam seem a little smaller and therefore bring down the hp peak rpm.

thank you guys. would the same hold true for intake and heads?

Yes boost can also help smaller heads and intakes make more power than they ever would n/a
