NM cams

[[RPM]]

Are they worth it in a mild turned engine?

[Audi_CQ]

No. Waste of money

So for up to 400 bhp stick to aby cams?

Audi_CQ comment was tongue in cheek

They are excellent cams and the old audi yahoo group had brilliant results with them so did Krist, I have them in my car when it's ready for the dyno results will be quantative

Yes. NM cams may help a bit, but are not the weakest link so there are other places to use money on before cams. Would port the head before changing cams, but of course more costly. If you already have the NM cams you could test with and without. The only way to be sure if it's working

thank you

I have h rods arp main and head studs and mn cams to go in
shopping for a newer tech decent turbo and ex manifold.
and hopefully a ported head.

I mapped a car with them a week ago on RS2 turbo.
They are very nice cams - the lift and duration is similar to the stock ones, but just a little more.
You lose a tiny little bit down low (not really noticeable, especially on a custom mapped car), but get a nice gain up top, especially past 5000 rpm compared to stock cams.

I'd go for it.

when you say stock? you mean ADU or ABY cams?

when compared to the ADU cams, what are the differences?

From the links, it almost looks like the NMs are having slighlty higher lift on IN/EX and there is a difference in duration on the IN when compared to the ADU..

what does the duration difference means in practice?

Is it good setup to use 7a exhaust cam and NM inlet cam? Because I found them in 7a engine which goes clearly with much torque. lifts are the same, but tim different:
NM __________Opens 0° ATDC, closes 32° ABDC, duration 212°, lift 9,6mm?
7A___________Opens 6° ATDC, closes 38° ABDC, duration 212°, lift 9,6mm

would be better to use 7a inlet cam or leave NM?

[ACQ]

the same effects with 7a and nm intake cams?

bumping this old thread , would both cams be used or only one for this?
