Last phase of lancer mods
Alright, just got back from the shop... I am going to give my 100% honest review.
Off the line it feels like I lost low end torque. Power takes a second to come on. When accelerating from a roll though it pulls really nice. OVERALL though I don't feel a whole lot of difference. Given, I have been driving a 5 speed 3000GT for the past 4 days so I will continue to update how the car feels. Cam idles exactly how I would want it to. You know its there but it is not annoying. The biggest difference is instead of the power falling off the face of the earth at a certain point, it pulls ALL the way to redline. Throttle response is excellent. I will be driving it quite a bit more tonight so expect an update at about 11PM or so tonight.

Been driving it some more, getting the computer used to it. The top end is REALLY coming out. Like 30+ is AMAZING plain and simple... Off the line leaves something to be desired though but we will see. Update later!
sucks regarding low end loss. but honestly if it were turboed that would be shweet.
Install cost $900 including oil change, plugs, coolant, tuning, head studs, timing belt etc.
Just got back from hammerin on it. It pulls like a champ. Very low end has a slight decrease in power. At about 3k RPM's it pulls like crazy all the way to redline. From a roll the car is a BEAST, very quick compared to before the parts. I am having 1 major problem though, after taking it out to hammer on it, it started camming like crazy to the point of wanting to die. I don't know what is wrong with it. Right now at idle I am adding 5% fuel. I tried adding more and that did not help. I am going to have to take it in tomorrow if it keeps doing this. I am going to let it cool down a while then go out and start it up again.

I don't have wideband and don't really want to go about messing with fuel too much lol. I will see what the shop has to say. I just tried it again after it had been cooling a while and it is still idleing terribly....
That's kind of weird, something else is obviously going. Front what I remember the RRM cam is pretty mild so you shouldn't get a loppy idle or anything like that. I would strongly recommend you get a wideband eventually (a bit late at the moment) so you can monitor the engine but for now take it somewhere that can tune it for you.
