oh cool, thanks fam

I dont fear wolves either, as impressive as they may be. I respect them and know they are very impressive, but I am bent on proving the aggression of deers. and their ability to fight back and kick wolves ass.

You dont need PS delete, but you need ECU to right tune with every cams, even with big like BC stg3, S5,.. and cam gears.

Cam gears are around 125usd and you need them
SR kit is around 200usd, Cam gears are around 125usd and you need both for every bigger cams that you want.

Whats your goal? How much do you want to spend?

For S3's and S4's cam gears aren't really needed. They are dialed in pretty good.

They idle fine around 950~1050rpm. Any less, and they're obviously lopey. I haven't slapped the JWT cam gears on them yet. Just tossed them in the car and it's being picked up tomorrow, so the cam gears will be installed once I get up to CT in the next couple weeks.

Car screams above 5Krpm, that's for damn sure. Really hard fight with torque steer and lane drifting. Need to dial in the cams when the car gets tuned, though.

This makes me scratch my head... It's just as cheap to get S/R and cams from BC, as it is to go JWT and get just cams. The additional cost (REGARDLESS), comes from dyno tuning.

TBH, it had nothing to do with costs (well, almost nothing), for me. I saw Nick was selling BC cams, and decided to get them. I just wanted something different. Hell if he were selling PONCAM's or Kelfords, I probably would have bought them just to see what could be done with them. I know JWT's are worth every penny, because they have R&D behind them. That doesn't mean that they should be the only CAM dealer I should buy from...

Anyhow, that's another subject all together that should be left unheard.

I just don't want to change the springs and retainers, it is not needed for what I want to do. I have intake, header, hi flow cat, 2.5" exhaust and S-AFCII to tune with a G20 ECU. I put a 1991 sr20 intake cam in there but I need something bigger now.

I would spend the money on the JWT probably because they seem the best to just drop-in. That is all I want to do and I would not do anything else to the head of the engine. I don't want to go for the max or most power, something that will give me the largest increase in power with stock internals and a S-AFCII to tune for that particular cam. It's my DD, and I don't need anything fancy. Also I want cams just to have some fun with the ol' girl.

I have decided I am going to save up for some brand new JWT S4's to toss in the head and tune it on a dyno with my S-AFCII.

Tell'em tekkie. Eventually they will have to pay for dyno time unless you have a good hook up to reach full potential.

I got stg 3's for my build and fiddled with timing but didn't get much...luckily got some brand new C2's off a lad over here dropped them in at 0,0 and gained 20whp with a remap.

Why dont you guys want to change spring on retainers? I think its a must for any cam upgrade. It allow you to rev high and londger, more comfortably and with more reliability. I also will be getting rocker stopper. I think S/R maximises the output of any big cams and I need to get cam gears cause all cams need to be tuned to your driving style and how you want your power delivered

were you running S/R with the C2s?
