Thnx
After a bit of tunning, I got the car top idle just fine, it sounds a bit different from stock, but other than that, there really isn't a hell of a difference.
I'm not sure what you mean by complete fit, but we put them, and they fit just fine, and in fact I've put in, I'd say like 10-15 sets of the stage one, 3 or four of the stage 2, and one of the stage 3, which actually, the car they went into got into a mag for them.
And as far as after 6000rpms, I really must say, the part I noticed more immediately was the lower rpm torque, and HP I got.
On one of our cars with the stage 2 cams, a millled head (30 thousandths), springs, retainers, cam gears, IHE, and a couple other bolt ons, we managed to get as much as 39whp before the v-tech crossover which was actually at 5400 rpms which we accomplished by moving up the v-tech crossover, between 1200 and 5400 we made an averagre of a 18 whp increase. Through V-tech we made an additional 22-28 whp, beleive it or not dropping off until after 9500 rpms.
I'm not saying the cams were the only thing that made power, but we took a car that make 156.7whp and pulled it up to make 192.8 whp.
If you guys are interested, email me, and I wouldn't mind suplying a list of mods and what tunning tricks we did.
