I will the be lone wolf and say 06+ tsx cams. On a dyno jet my car is at around 250whp/200lbs of torque. It runs like stock and even gets better gas mileage than before. Best benifit is not having to worry about grinding issues and tct failures

I think he was using the S2 header. Ive been talking with Ecko01 and he really likes the S2 header he says for as crappy as its made it really does perform. And considering that car was kind of built buy Church I think that's what they used.

LOL I agree on the S2 RH. As crappy as it's made it definitely performs.

Yeah, if the S2 header didn't use cast collectors and all the other crap that comes along with it would be awesome. I was going to buy one but decided to get a custom built SSR, would've went with Go Power but they won't return my emails or phones calls :/

If I ever go with a custom header, it will be made by ASP.

The only problem with Stefan's headers is they are all 4-1 and they have a really bad hit or dip (depending on who you talk to) in the midrange. He was going to build mine but after talking to Ecko01 I decided to get a custom SSR. For a road race car I didn't want a hit in the midrange.

try OEM - intake from Acura TSX 09+ and exhaust from any TSX 04-08 except 09+ VTC in such case should be used from TSX 09+ also - it's 50 degrees
some info TSX 09+ cams here:

I know they're 4-1, but after seeing a few dynos compared to off the shelf 4-2-1's, it actually made the same or better midrange for the most part.

this is why i don't mind a 4-1.

4-1 FTW! Toda Spec E cams for a high-comop K24. Great gas mileage (if it's a daily driver), drive-ability, and the power is there when you need it.

Best regards,

Dr. Rulo

go with my recommended combo and you would be more happy then using all cams from TSX 06-08. Intake cam from TSX 2009+ is most aggressive from OEM !!!

yes it would be different, but in such case I bet that TSX 06-08 beats DIC's even more in TQ and HP would be the same as he don't rev till 9K rpm.

I don't take bets, I look at results so show me where 06-08 tsx cams beat Drag Cartel DICs.
