SYKOV6 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 thats a pretty big cam for a road car will make it real doggy down low not making any power to 4000rpm youll get blown off the lights by hyundias for the first 50 meters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacov Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 well im hoping it aint that lumpy as the guy said it got to 140k pretty quick dont want any honda to waste me lol that would be shame other mods are flattop pistons bigger oil galleries and i wouldnt know what else hmm 40mm carbie but he also said it wouldnt idle under 2000rpm eek :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
