And they're f'n awesome. TONS of power from 6500+, and very smooth power from 3k to 6k. Under 2k they definitely lack torque compared to stock cams or the go power ksi's i had before. They have a pretty smooth idle at 950 rpms, but under that it's pretty rough but sounds badass lol.

They're not small cams. They shifted peak torque way over. Peak torque used to be around 5200, now it's at 6500

They are bad. Innovative 75a. I have the rsx oil pump, so vibrations are definitely worse.

My understanding is that these and other similar n/a cams tend to blow the boost right out of the exhaust valves on a rotrex and don't do much good, sometimes losing power. Feel free to correct me though.

I got no clue, maybe a tuner can chime in. I've seen a k20 with a c38 running stage 3 cams but I don't know if it was a custom sc cam. These kelfords pull nice and are low cost !

hehe

It's gonna cost some labor too, bout 6-700 bucks in labor to install camshafts and springs/retainers/valve seals/etc

Nice ride woot, I feel the video doesn't even do justice on how fast this car is pulling. Jealous. What tct did you use?

Also going with the a2 pump, if you did it again would you change mounts to 62a instead of the 75a you have now, or just deal with the vibrations.

Did you install yourself? If so, what spring compression tool did you use?

Nope, heavy vibrations really don't bother me. They're bad at idle but not AS BAD everywhere else.

And it's absolutely true, the video doesn't do it justice, it's relentless when accelerating now.
