just finished my install and while it is quicker, my preconceived thoughts are that it would be much quicker..


just venting.. i hate spending money on stuff that doesn't make me go wow...

i do love the idle though i wonder if the dealer will know...

I have the same set-up and it made a huge difference. You should really get a tune before you start dropping the hammer on your car. You will see a huge difference with the tune. Just my 2 cents...

 

just wait until your tune is done and then you will be posting about how fast your car feels.

 

i feel better now... thanks

It's probably a good idea to drive it gently until it's properly tuned. Besides, unless the tune is the the same as before the cams, you can't even make an accurate comparison because there are too many other variables. Wait until after it's tuned, I promies you won't be disappointed

 

now i just have to decide if i want the lopey idle or not... i really like it but def not dealer friendly...

i should set up a poll..

The tune will defiantly help, Its like night and day after a tune with cams.

 

I may be off base but it takes a lot of horsepower to make a difference when the car is already as fast as it is. I think the sensation of a car being faster is real, but one guys seat is more feeling than someone else's.
Figure a car length in an eight of a mile, to some people that is big, the difference between winning a race and losing. To me and most people a car length is nothing. Less than the difference one would see from weather related changes. Can someone feel that much difference and claim his car was quicker? maybe.
Tuning performance is a matter of perception, real or not, enough horsepower to make a significant difference is going to be a function of a lot of mods. Singularly the effect has got to be negligible. Although you may think one mod did a lot based on the increased pleasure you derive from sound or low end torque.

So explain to me why I dump money into the car trying to make it faster. Consider me a weak soul.

 

How about this. My car base dynoed at 245whp. After a tune it was at 290whp, that is close to 50-60 crank hp difference. Went from a 13.6 to a 12.7 in the 1/4 mile. That was before the cams. It should be right around 330-340whp after a custom tune. That is close to 100whp. If you can not feel that you have some major problems... Power is everything! If you think it isn't go purchase a Yugo...

 

Its all about the tune man... dont worry with the flash they will wake up your car like no other.

 

who is going to tune your car

J8,

I was talking about ten ot fifteen hp, you are talking some significant POWER.

btw you got 45 to 50 from a tune only? I am impressed.

 

That is with the TBE, and MBC being tuned properly. If you just slap parts on your car a lot of times you may actually lose HP. The tune is everything. Even a flash on a stock EVO can yeild 15-20WHP. That is 25-35hp at the crank.
