I just hate the way the car feels like its eating its face before redline.

That's why I autocross, 1st and 2nd gear always feel fast. :nod:

You have a 16G. You don't need to rev it to redline. You don't want a stroker then either. Even with cams, big turbo and sheetmetal intake manifold, they usually have peak power around 6500 and fade after that.

No doubt aaron! Just shift yo! :D

Notice how on the graph that cher posted, the top end is a little better w/ the 50-trim. This is probably a direct result of being able to hold more boost at redline. Boost taper is a reality (and even more prevelant in evos), holding a flat boost curve on a straight MBC & internal gate is just not gonna happen.

\ok, thanks guys. Maybe i will go back to stock cams then.

No, don't be silly. What do you have in there now? 272's? comps?

^what is that about now sonny?
yes i wish to find \bc 272s as they are the 'smallest' 272 cam out right now, i want to keep as much mid range as possible.

Sorry, I've just seen really really lackluster results from BC cams. Both midrange and up top. Stick with HKS IMHO.
