John's Build. Need advice!
For those of you interested in new cams, but can't find useful info. I've had mine installed for bout 5 months and thought i should post my experience with them.
Off the bat, they bought me 15whp and 13ft-lbs. The power curve is what make them worth it. my boost hits @ 2k and im dumping 11psi at no more than 3k rpms. It idles extremely low, round 600rpms. Heres a video of the idle
.
It actually idles so low it stalls out often (probably in part to the tune). I’ll post my before and after dynos soon.
*Edit*
I was wrong, i guess its common for the F/IC to stall the motor.

They just replace the stock ones, no modification needed (Unless you have a standalone installed), but its recomened if your going to rev over 7k you also replace your valve springs with double coiled.

Will do, also if i give it any throttle you'll just hear my resignator and glass-pak. Theres tons of DIYs for installing them online.

yep
These are my port and valve numbers, i was told the general hp gain is 2.5bhp per 5 CFM's. so, i had a gain of almost 60 cfms, so thats like 30bhp (22? to the wheels)
ok, so this is part of my dyno results @ 10 psi. (9lbs spring tho)
same run about 285 to the wheels. Since then I've add a bleed valve (GoFastBits), but im only pushing 11.8lbs with 305whp and 297lbs tq. It was also taken on a different dyno-jet by a buddy of mine. i didnt get a print-out.
Is anyone making better numbers on a stock bottom? I think im going to try 15psi, but im out of timing.

Care to explain? I had my install all checked out by dyno-comp ( kind of a big deal here in the valley). The only part I wish I didn't buy was the AEM F/IC, but it came with my kit. Improper machine work? I doubt any of my parts are faulty, every thing runs fine. I just haven't seen anyone making more power then me on a stock bottom, unless their running a standalone.
