    cam question

    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.

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