Got it! Missed the part about the boost...

That's some really good gains everywhere in the RPM range. I still can't believe these are Stage 1 cams. Great job!

 

Not that I don't enjoy suspense when reading posts, but you might want to edit the original post to reveal the final numbers after the tune if possible. Seems like these are a solid upgrade choice and I'll place them into consideration after upgrading my turbo.

 

Wonder what the #'s would be with stage 2?? Do you guys think stage 2 is ok for dailey driving??

 

We are yet to test a car with stage 2's. We are building a car now that will use stage 2's but it will be run on a Gems standalone.

nice gains

 

I was wondering the same thing. I understand you are going to use the gems, but will you all be able to tune the stg2's with ecuflash, ecutek, AP, etc. without issues for us that don't want standalone?

 

I don't think it will be a problem. I am curious to see how a flashed car would run with those cams.

Forgot to mention those are awesome numbers on the stg1's!

 

I've heard these cams are a ***** to install and tune is there any truth to this?

 

is this stock turbo or i missing something?

 

Yes, stock turbo.

 

That is true. I wish they were like the Evo VIII and IX. The timing chain makes them a bit of a PITA to install.

Have you heard anything about shimming the cams? I have never heard of or had to do that with any cams I've installed in the past.

 

sorry if i missed it but...

what is the mod list to this car if you dont mind me asking ?

gaining about 50hp and 40tq from cams is awesome...

breaking 400 on the stock turbo is amazing as well... keep up the good work!

 

It's only if the clearance between the shim and cam lope when closed isnt within specification. On these new cars as long as its a good cam and ground to near the same as the stock I doubt it needs changed. I put hks high lift 264 cams in my old turbo mr2 and it didnt need reshimmed (checked with a filler gauge, engine on a stand).
