Upgrading Cams
i have the motordyne 5/16 plenum spacer, Stillen Headers, Berk HFC, Nismo S-tune exhaust, AEM CAI. Im looking to get the Mrev 2 and then tune it. I guess that would cover the supporting mods, lol. after that I plan to tune with the Uprev
I have BC stage 3 (not really my DD anymore but I am driving it a lot now to break my motor in before winter) My view my be invalid however...I'm TT shotting for 600+rwhp...lol BUT I do notice the lower rpms are sluggish, but once i get to about 2.5K, it picks up a lot and the turbos spool right away at that point. I'm still getting used to taking off from a stop cause of the lack of torque down low
except to do it right costs the same amount as just going fi so no way you look at it is it possibly worth it, and then your still spinning the motor much higher to make that lack luster power causing low end torque to drop. 99% of the people will spend very little time where it makes power so nearly everyone's car will feel slower, gears will help some but then again stock cams with gears will still feel faster even if its not because again low end torque is hurt.
yeah, cams ALONE wont to much, just like headers on a non-RevUp DE, it's all about supporting mods. yeah, cams are NOT gonna be like FI but done right, it can make a HUGE difference. too many people just regurgitate what's been posted before w/o really reading into it, and end up adding their own spin on it. people cling on to what some frustrated guy posted who was expecting way too much and didn't to it right.
I guess I just don't get why ppl feel the need for huge horsepower in an RPM range that is supposed to be used for normal cruise driving. I've never raced my car at 2500 rpms and I hate stop like ricer drag racing kids that feel the need to punch their engines every time they take off only to reach the speed limit of 30-40mph. Irrational behavior.
