ROAD/RACE- Cam and Ported Head
I fully intend to get the RRM head and cam, along with the Turbo (which I will probably be after first). Im just sidetracked at the moment with a load of custom work on the car! I know however they'll both be great, RRM stuff always is!

An after flicking back a few pages...
I dug that up!

Not sure of the specs on these cams, but for sure I'm going to get the head installed... I'll give you a call ROCK!!!

I guess I need to clarify... the book said that most aftermarket turbo kits performed worse or no better when mated with a cam(s) that were originally ground for NA setup.
if the cam is made with a turbo RA in mind it should help. this was another reason rock had explained to me he went with a milder cam so they could spec it so it would help both the n/a and turbo guys.
man that's a lot of flipping of pages to do... but the parts look good, didn't really read anything but the first and last page but saw the pictures of the head and wow. I wonder how it'll do if i just wanted to stay N/A....
EDIT:
I've got no life at work, i just spent the last 3 hours reading through the last 28 pages of this thread... word for word, i could probably write a book report on it too.
Summary for those who didn't bother to read it
Conclusion: No one with the Head has spoken up, not even Manny.. hint hint
The Camshaft does good, but needs a possible tune.. Ralliart234(?) thinks he gained about 10 whp and a "buttload of tq"
The pricing for the parts is right, given the amount of hours spent on research and development and labor. I work in a firm that makes 95% of the electric hookups for trailers on trucks/suvs/etc. The amount of hours that it put into just an o-ring design and its seating position is insane. So imagine a full head job or a camshaft. Granted they're in different fields (engine vs accessories) they both require a pretty decent amount of time and commitment, along with which comes pricing.
RRM will no longer be R&D on new parts for the lancer RA but will continue to manufacture parts until demand dissapears.
A lot of arguing about pricing, and quality. I think everyones made up and kissed by now though...
