Stage 3 cam
Stage 3 cam
What are the downsides to a stage 3 cam? like I understand rough idle, ecu, valve clearance, and the addition of an expensive cam gear, but does it do anything to the acceleration? I was told that it would basically make my car slow until high rpms. Mind you this would be on a car with necessary modifications. Stage 3 turbo, pistons and rods, clutch, valve springs, etc.
All the things you said. There's a reason why RPW doesn't recommend you go above a stage 2 on a street car. Call be crazy but when a vendor tells you not to buy their product, it's for a damn good reason.
With anything over RRM's cams (basically stage 2 and up) it requires cam gear, valve springs etc. a tune, and you get a bad idle and maybe a little loss of low end power. Stage 3 cams are worthless unless you are pushing major horsepower. My friend has 272 cams on a 92 MR2 and that thing is ROWDY but idles that a muscle car. And can beat out Evo's ALL day long I might add.

I think a cam would be better compared to VTEC or something along those lines. Even with all the NA mods out there an NA lancer wouldn't stand a chance against a turboed lancer.
