Kirk Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) I do question the staggered cam setup.. It doesn't help turbo spool and hurts mid and high range power. Doesn't seem logical to me Posted via Mobile Device Edited October 12, 2008 by Kirk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sherwood Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 It was a hard desision to strip the car out and chage colour I also liked the car as it was. Don't know how the tyre widths will work for track but we will mainly use the car for drag racing and top speed runs as Elvington is just down the road. We are giving the 264 VVTI inlet cam a go see how it performs, if its not that good can go back to using 272 fixed cam. But HKS say the 264 VVTI gives close to 272 fixed cam performance at the top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
