remember, he's FI. FI and N/A cams, by nature, need VERY different specs to make power. I was skeptical about these cams working on FI cars to begin with...lets only hope they don't fall flat on their face on the N/A customers as well...

I too was very dissapointed in the resuts, but as far as another customer, 4bang6 in the Florida forum loved his, although his cheap ass hasn't dyno'd them yet.

I'm still skeptical without any dyno plots. If you check BC's website, his Stage 2 cams were intended for FI in addition to N/A. Only the Stage 3 cams were exclusively designed for N/A applications. Either way it should've made power on OG's car.

^^^I'm with ya, I just never understood in the first place how he could market the same cam for both FI and NA...

This sucks. Talk about the letdown of the year

so, if we all raced what do you think the outcome would be? i know there are like 700 different variables but for conversations sake....

i think from a dig:

wildcard ans silver both jump ahead, i pull blownAP, and sorry but joey gets left behind. i slowly reel both wildcard and silver in with nate right on my ass and i dare say that at 110+ i start finally pass the wildcard and silver.

this race didnt include justin as hes FI'd now.
Thats how it may have worked out for me when I was modded...but right now, my only mod is the 4.57 rear gears.

Though, trust me, I do have the bug and will be up there with you guys soon. And dynoing after all the mods to actually know what does what. But I did just buy BlownAP's T1R test pipe...so I am getting started. And, I am anxiously awaiting your results on the header Version...give me as much insider info as you can though, I've been sooo tempted on picking up a Ricks or Mugen header lately. I do also have K&N filter in my stock intake...soo...ehh. and will be getting an AUT style cooling plate very shortly.

Actual power mods to come: VAFC, header, maybe TB, and maybe cams.

yea yea, eventually

It runs like a raped date right now, I just gotta tweak it a little. I'd love to open up the exhaust, but it's time I focused my financial efforts elsewhere (else deal with the wrath of the S.O. )

Those running the stockbox + drop in: Are you running a gutted box or are all the insides still intact?
