It's quite a lot of work. I think it takes around 10-12 hours. Estimating labor at $55 per hour on average it would be $550-$660.

Maybe its just me but I don't see this as being very cost effective.

He was telling a few of us about it last weekend and I believe he said rev-up... but that's only my vague recollection.

The more memorable part of the conversation was trying to think of how they found that out... the leading theory is that some newb tech accidentally (i) installed the wrong cam, and (ii) screwed up alignment of the timing chains (one tooth off). Then they were like wait a second, this feels even faster.

FWIW, we DID ask him a question... where's the proof? From what it looks like is that he's just going by word-of-mouth.

OP, can you elaborate? What advantage would this have over aftermarket cams? Who actually did the testing for this? Where's the dyno proof/E.T.'s and trap speeds?
ok, the dude has a job, give him time to respond no one has given him a chance.

Yup 5th gear on a Dynapak.

You never felt any of the dips or anything... It started doing the dips after Headers. No one could figure out why.. Jeremy at Peformance Factory is having the same problem on his NA build.

They tried to tune out the dips and hills.

That's cool. I'm sure you guys will get it figured out. Very Nice numbers! And props for trying new stuff!

So to clarify, these are the revup exhaust cams only?

Are these exhuast cams the same as the Nismo ones or is one better than the other and if so which one is better?
