295 with a larger TB
315-325 with ITB's
330+ with the above & 14:1 compression


With no other changes but only the turn of a knob/button you can experience the following:

12-18 whp increase per lb of boost.

Last night he got 284.99whp still on the N1's
He will probably test some FTW E85 to see if there its any magic vs 100 unleaded!!

Like seeing the numbers be pushed. Work with what you got until it proves to go no further. Love the simplicity of the setup.

There will be some magic but the maps will be way different

I see that most N1 cams are still priced in the $400+ range, used, so if JWT came out with their V1 or V2 cams which makes more power, assuming they would be priced similarly to the S3 or S4 cams, $550-$600 ain't bad at all IMO.

Now, like many of you, I already have N1s, so for guys like us to swap over, there would have to be a significant/worthy power gain, hopefully in the middle upper area just before VVL engagement..

I highly doubt they will be priced similarly to their other cams. Due to the amount of extra work with the multiple set of lobes and the higher price for the blanks. Your probably looking at $700-$750 I would imagine. But they probably wont release them unless there is a significant gain over the n1's Why put out a cam that is only just as good or maybe a hp or 2 above n1's. Not worth it and nobody is going to pay 750 for a set of cams for 1-2 hp gain. Sorry.

Take note Kelford and Franklin. Both of which put out cams that were worse than or equal to n1's. SMH. They tried though so Ill have to give them that and thank Kelford for keep on pushing on to finally come out with something significantly better than n1's.

But their start in the whole VE cam development wans't so great.

Yeah I hear ya. I know the odds are against, and times have changed, but for a good while JWT was the only place to go with if you had a b13 or b14. Their cams and ECU programs were unbeatable, and thus the high prices reflected that. we had few other options. I'm not sure how that could/would effect VE cam pricing. If they made 10hp peak over the N1s and were 700$ a set I'd spring for them I think.
