its actually at the shop where we got it ported still. he installing the valvetrain parts still.

also we just bought a new exedy stage 2 clutch and stage 2 comp cams. like you said.

but david was wondering why go with stage 2 cams instead of blower cams?

I'd of definitely used blower cams...

blower cams = stage 1 intake cam and stage 2 exhaust cam.
its not really a blower specific grind or anything.

exactly. A custom grind form a reputable shop would be much much better. Hell, stage 2 intake and stage 3 exhaust has a good chance at being better than regular blower cams.

Call Karo ask him about the European cam company, they have like 30+ grinds for the L61. The blower grind is kind of joke and is probably suitable for a stock head, but there is head ported and will flow substantially more.

BUT those euro cams cost out the ass. Their hollow billet stainless ones are great if you want to rev to 10 grand though. A good cam maker will make you one better than those euro cams (because it will be matched to your exact setup and where you want the power), and if you only want to rev to 7-8 grand you can use a stock casting for the grind rather than a hollow billet cam and be a lot cheaper than one of the euro cams.

why is the motor idling like that? lol

where are you running your catch can to on the back of the motor?

stenguyen1

iTrader: (2)

Its not recirculating anywhere. Its just an over flow catch can mostly. Like the hose is just goes to the back to put overflow fluid to the back but it rarely overflows
