True, but I've already pm ROCK.

I just want to see what numbers you are pulling. What mods do you have to date, that would help.

Scheduled delivery is Monday, install tuesday, review tuesday night. dyno will maybe be a week or 2 unless someone wants to donate the $100 for me to do the dyno sooner.

Not much at this point as both are in the releasing stages and none have come back with any reviews yet.

Ralliart329 will probably be the first to come through with this review. RPW are in this stage looking for a donor to test their camshafts.

I understand RRMs are mild and have an aggressive profiile.

I'm saying I don't know anything yet as well as everyone else. Wait and see though!

Keep in mind, some cars may already have existing modifications which can alter the difference in power regarding the camshaft.. bone stock with camshaft would be best for accurate results imo.

You should try to talk to RPW to see what their specs for it are. see if they even have one made yet. i went with RRM b/c i knew it be cheaper after shipping and ive never bought a part from them that wasnt awesome. I have almost all of the mods RRM makes for ma n/a auto and if they say their cam is going to be great i'm believing it.

This dyno i'm going to do will help give an idea, but the car will be untuned when i do it since i dont have the money right now to dump into a wideband and the time to figure out how to use it since i know there's a growing list of ppl who want to know gains and get the review.

yeah, but if bought the car and the first thing you did was put in a cam shaft I would call you a "moron"

have you spoken to Rob to see if their camshaft is ok to go in untuned? The more air the leaner you are gonna be! I might even go back to a stock map if I were you, at least until you can get to a dyno. Not the most accurate, but it's safer than nothing.

In an airy fairy world, stock with camshaft is the ideal way to go to get some sort of accurate results (anyone can jump in to correct me). In reality what you say Dan is true - however, everyone has to remember his results are going to be reflected upon an auto with the modifications existing on his car.

Others may be blind to see that the power he gains will be much different from others without those modifications.

I would say if you don't have your breathing mods done you are almost, not quite but almost, throwing money away.

you are right, the only way to really see the gains for the mods we have is to apply each one to a stock RA and dyno it. The best way is to have as many RA's modded as there are Evo's so we can generalize and say "an RA with x, x, and x will make xxx HP and xxx TQ". I guess this will never happen at least for the 4g69.
