Install is a little bit of work. Maybe a mechanic should install it. Mileage will be around the same.

Order sent, I can't wait to install it.

Hey ROCK,

did you sent some torque specification for the instalation with the CAM? (Valve cover, Cam bracket, Cam gear, it's almost the one I need.)

I'd think it'd use up a little more gas just cause the engine can take in more air and expel more exhaust.

My Cam is on the way, It's will be there next week.

I'll install it the weekend (5-6 august) after and I'll let you know how it feel for the power increase.

Fine, no need for cam gear, ecu, fuel mods. Just plug&play.

I'm not trying to hate or anything, but doesn't the RRM description look like it was pulled off of the accolade/rpw website? Does that mean that it is basically the same thing as the RPW stage 1? I'm not saying this is necessarily bad (although vendors should come up with their own descriptions for their products), especially since the RRM one is considerably cheaper.

I guess that's competition at work.

In the golf industry every golf club and ball manufacturer claims they have the longest hitting clubs and the longest flying golf *****.

They can't all be the longest...but for what ever test they carried out those were the results they got.

Having similar products with similar claims is competition, I agree, and I agree that's good. I'm not saying anything about the product, the product looks great and I'm happy we are getting more options sourced from more reliable people.

But I have never seen promotional materials for two different products containing the exact same language. We're talking word-for-word for pretty much an entire paragraph. If they copied, then that's just tacky. That was my only point.
