It was 2.1Hp, sorry. And -10 lb/ft of TQ. And remember, I don't have a 16G yet.

Thanks for all the opinions. Any particular reason no one likes the FP (Comp) cams? I know Cher had an issue with his wearing, but I haven't heard of anyone else having issues. They seem pretty good, they are supposedly made on a CNC grinder like HKS’s are.

Also, I am not saying 272’s are overkill. What I am saying is that the 264’s may give me more USABLE power. But, maybe I should just go with something bigger.

Mo, what kind of gas mileage did you get back in the day? Yes, that is a consideration for me.

Josh, it was one line, get off JET’s case.

JET, it’s not my racecar, that’s $400 that could be spent on my racecar. The 16G is plenty for a DD. And I run 20PSI daily.

I would use the $400 on the race car then and keep the stock cams. My $.02.

Actually gas milaege was better than stock... when driving casually... of course when I was beating on it... it went down significantly:)... but thats also normal...

On the point of the cams, on this car, don't buy them. Not needed for what you are trying to accomplish... A better investment for this car would be a street core FMIC or something similar.

Mo has an AEM EMS, so he is not stuck running 14.7:1 airfuels at cruise like the stock ECU/O2 sensor combo want to for good emissions. You can tune nice and lean for gas mileage with a standalone.

Actually I was talking about when I had the 16g and cams... I just had an afc at that point...

So since you bought cams, put this thread to rest and post what you bought and why you bought them?
