Cams on a VQ are not a piece of cake. I've rebuilt a manual transmission, installed clutches, put a new headgasket on a neon, installed most of my turbo kit, and done tons of other work on cars.

That said, I would be very hesitant to make the VQ my first DOHC cam swap project.

 

I did the cams on my car.. its really isnt easy nor crazy hard.. just time consuming

BTW I get what you mean about upping boost instead of adding cams. Cant argue that.

 

I dont think I would want to do cams on this car....going to the "fast" track next weekend. Good A/F in the 11's this time, and a 1.6 60ft could be 11.7X....

 

hopefully i will set the bar high for ya on friday if nothing bad happens this time!!! hehehe two more days and i will give ya the NEW time to beat...

 

I know you will beat my weak 11.98, but 1 week later you'll be playing catch up again Good luck Friday man...

 

can you like vid tape your legs when you powershift? i just wanna see how fast you let go the clutch... btw nice time like always

 

the trick i learned is to set the seat back a lot so you can only push the clutch down half way even if you reach as far as you can... it seems to be working. i just floor the car. never let off, launch at 6000, rape the gears, and press the clutch down about two inches, i have a feeling that alberto does the same thing....

 

Been doing it for years, not as exagerated as you though. I always set mine so its a stretch to push the clutch all the way in, and so my arm is extended fully for a 2-3 shift, thats how I set my daily seating position. And to the guy asking for a foot video, I doubt it, I dunno how Id rig that one up, this isnt Best Motoring lol...

 

wheres that track located im from PA and looking for some different tracks to go to where there not full of american cars..or ricers.

Its in Crofton MD, close to Glen Burnie which is known for ricers and $hit talking non drivers. I just ignore them, most people are nice at tracks anyways...
