On this dyno I kicked at 4500rpm, just to show the jump in power. I was switching the SR16 cams at 3800rpm exhaust on the street. It helped to spool the turbo. When the 20v exhaust kicks, it bogs unless it is kicked at 5000rpm. The intake smooths the power down low. So the SR16 cams should kick the exhaust first, then intake at 5k. the 20V cams are the opposite.
The idle quality, and sound of the 20v cams is nice. Smoother at idle. Overall, they feel great and the powerband is more consistent. The SR16 cams made awesome mid-range with advanced timing. But I suspect the 20V cams would have done the same thing with more timing. The top end with the 20v cams is noticeably better on this particular setup.
Bottom end power seems the same really. Out of boost, other than the better idle quality, I can't tell a difference. Once in boost, the exhaust on the 20V sounds better, less raspy, but also doesn't seem to have the same kick.
So. On to the next subject. A Precision 6262 may just fall in my lap. Do I keep the twinscroll and go GT35r? Or do I jump on the .82 6262 and never look back?
