Anyone have experience with these? Particularly on an NA platform. I was thinking about getting these stage 1 or 2. My idea is to get these, probably stage 2 to run as I am now with i/h/e/fp, and eventually I will run a turbo setup. Will these cams do well for both of these setups? And what other items would I need to get them installed and running correctly?
The Kelford Stage 1 cams are the better choice with you current setup. Their stage 2 cams really require higher compression and/or more displacement to show the maximum results.
Keep in mind that you cant compare one brand's "stage X" to another brand's "stage X" cams.. For example, Kelford's Stage 1 cams are closer to a S2 stage2 than an S2 Stage 1. Just an FYI.
Also, I would have to say that NA cams arent necessarily bad for boost. that's an old misconception that doesnt always prove to be true.
I'm gonna get kelford cams eventually. Just gonna rock the 179-a. Kelford cams are great cams. Can't look at cams in stages. Learn to read specs and compare specs. Kelford 179-b are slightly more aggressive than ips k2s, FYI.
Import Tuner had a good article on the kelfords, dyno close to 20hp gain with minimal mods. roughly 10hp before, and 10hp after vtec, dont qoute me on that......
All dynos read different, this still shows the hp gains to be had w/ the above mods. It would be the same on another dyno, just lower numbers overall. Besides dynapacks make tuning a breeze. Remember, a dyno is just a tuning tool thats it and thats all, the numbers you put down at the strip is what counts(if your into driving in a straight line
I have heard great things about kelford cams, buddies have them in their dsms, and evos and absolutely love them, so I am very interested to see how they do on our cars.
does anybody know a company that has the kelford 179-A in stock?.I have emailed/called multiples companies and they all have them out of stock, on order. i want to have theses installed for Honda Day(April 17).
hmmm...now that these guys are on back order, I really need help on deciding if I buy these or do I get the Drag Cartels...or do I try to source the gopower cams?
I would but they're about 2 hours away...This guy is about a 10 min drive and hes very well know here in SD and in Club RSX...even Jason from GoPower knows him
I need to have the cams in, angled and have the car tuned before we have our dyno day...Its gonna be a busy month for me
I've heard good things about kelford cams as far horsepower gains, daily driving, and reliability don't think you can go wrong with these.
