they're installing it now, probably done actually. i should be home by 6:30 tonight so ill be going for a little ride and then i'll be letting you all know what i think. ill also throw up some pics of the old cam, and ROCK it will be in the mail friday.

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! do to circumstances beyond my control my car won't be done until tomorrow. so i have no car no cam and no review. sorry all but S**t happens.

 

Not impressed! lol.

No, this always happens, but I guess the anticipation is killing you haha.

Maybe they're taking it for a spin? loljk

 

Yeahh or maybe trying to tune the piggyback to obtain more power so you will be more impressed by the 1300$ you spent.

 

Wasn't it $599?

 

yes the Camshaft is 599 which is what i have, the head is 1299 or 1399. as far as my car not being done: life sucks, drink .

 

lol, head is quite expensive!

 

^^only good head is.


Now then. The review:

Let me start by saying it is raining pretty hard here on L.I. so I couldn't really test this to its full ability.

HOLY F*ING MIVEC BATMAN!! It pulls alot harder in the mid to hgih end, even without really getting on it or taking it up to high speeds I can feel it pulls alot more then it used to. I cant give any assessment of the low end since with the rain id just be judging how much traction im losing, but RRM made it sound like they touched the low end very little.

Once the weather is better I'll be giving a full review of this how it affects ranges and all of that but for now my butt dyno is satisfied and i am confident that RRM gave me my moneys worth on this.

Let us know if you burn some rubber on third gear!!! with that new cam of yours...

What stage is it??

 

sounds awesome! how much did the install cost u?

 

Put it this way, if it pulls in the rain, imagine the pull on dry weather. For goodness sakes L.I, get sunny already

Anyway, is this review on the Camshaft or the Head or both?

I want to know the Camshaft, can't wait for your dyno

 

review is only the camshaft, i cant afford head.

install was free since my father-in-law used to build race cars with the mechanic who did it. he got to drive it before the roads got wet, and he said he's going to sue me for giving him whiplash

it is a stage 2.

 

YES!!

This is what I wanted to know, yes! yay!

What modifications do you have to date besides the camshaft?

Woo, may purchase one! So do you feel the car pull much much better without trying to think 'I have a mod so its faster'. No placebo effect please

 

their is more power, i always try to get in the car saying to myself it wont be any faster they probably screwed me.

mods:
Injen SRI
RRM header/DP w/ high flow cat
RRM Catback
RRM Piggy
RRM UD pulley
RRM Intake Manifold w/ RPW phelonic spacer
RRM motor mounts
RPW adjustable cam gear
Zaklee torque damper
Toyo Proxes 4s
and obviously the camshaft

I think that's all i have for performance mods, suspension mods don't matter here.

 

You've got quite an extensive list of mods. Great stuff

DYNO & TUNE IT.

Hows the Zaklee Torque Dampener? I hear it eliminates wheel hop and revives lost torque due to engine movement.

I remember you saying the cam gears were useless?

I have the phelonic spacer for the IM and haven't even touched it. How long is the swap over?
