I just had my car worked on @ Billet Design of Pompano Beach, FL. 1st let me say that I’m thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and their shop, top notch!
I had Buddy Club 280int/ 272ext cams & ARP head studs installed along with a Megan wrapped header & o2 housing and an AEM Wideband.
The car pulls incredibly hard from about 3500-7500 rpms! It’s basically a different car in that it has lost no power down low but has TRQ that comes in @ 3500 and seems to stay to the end. It gives that “throw you back in the seat feeling” in 4th & 5th gear whereas the stock cams fell flat!
No need to downshift when in 5th gear passing o the highway @ 80,nail it and she takes off!
The car is a real beast, it gets up to any speed you choose very, very quickly! The best part is it’s yet to be tuned and I’m only making 19.5 psi from my original 21.5 (turned it down a tad to be safe)! Al’s tuning it this weekend so it should be awesome. My AFRs @ WOT, 19 psi is 10.2, so there should be a good amount of tuning & leaning out for power. I can’t believe how good the car pulls, feels and sounds w/out a tune! 2nd best mod to date!
The headers & o2 housing give it a really nice race car sound, but not too loud. The cams have a really nice lopey idle, but has never stalled once, and that without a tune!
I’m VERY happy with the cam choice and Billet’s work!!!! I highly recommend Billet Design, the Megan headers,o2 and BC 280/272 cams!

 

Not to spoil your high but it is not safe to be boosting your car until it is retuned

PS - the guys at Billet do amazing work - you should see their exotic car twin turbo kits

 

no cam gears? congrats on the cams.. i think you made an excellent choice with that combo

 

Yeah do not drive around beating the **** out of the car with the new cams installed. You can be running lean on some areas of the powerband and not even know it. Wait until Al tunes her up. It will be another animal .

 

yea I can't wait, i just bought HKS 272's and gears....going to get them installed then flashed....

 

Man ya'll had to rain on my parade!!! LOL
Thanks for the advice, I'll take it easy (boy that's hard!). Should I turn the boost down more?

 

Where is this place? I live in pompano and i've never heard of it. Id love a quote on a 02 housing install.

 

Nice mod! Cams and gears are def. worth the money.

 

Here's a link to their website, although I beleive it's currently down due to construction.

the feeling of cam's are definitely night and day. i love mine

 

what is a ball park figure for the labor on a cam install?

 

Kyle I told you that you will love the setup! Also I told you Marco and crew do great work at Billet I am glad you took my word and went to them!!
I am glad you are happy and I am sure that Al will make you happier this weekend! I will give you a call when I am back in town.

 

AT turbotrixs its about 400 bucks

 

if you stay off the throttle until you get tuned, it shouldnt matter what your boost is set at

 

gears are definately not worth the money.. i had them on the car and just ended up adding another variable for disaster.. bottom line the car made more then enough power without adding crappy cam gears that ended up breaking two bolts off while on the dyno.
