I had the opportunity yesterday to sit in one of the Stage 1+ cars and all i can say is that it was way above my expectations. The power came on like a **** and kept pulling like mad till redline. When i drove my car after that i was like WTF (which has the Xede and Xede flash). Cams and custom tuning is worth every penny folks.

I was pretty surprised that the stock clutch is still able to hold all that power. Didn't do any 6G dumps or anything, but still it was amazing that the clutch held up to so much power.

Now I can't wait for the stupid cams and BOV to come...they've been on back order for a couple weeks

 

If you know how to drive a clutch Highpower AWD car the clutch can last a while. But in our cars it's not just the clutch hold the pressure plate is just complete azz. And you will have shifting issues after a while.

 

Another $2G expense to look forward to

thanks for your input though!

 

What cams did you go with? Did you go with the 264I,272E setup.

 

nope! i'm getting straight 272s (HKS). Just waiting on the exhaust cam and Greddy BOV. I think the shop ordered the new AEM 5 bolt cam gears.
