^nice, what cams did you need installed?

 

welcome back Jairen.

 

Sup Jairen! welcome back Bud! now lets get cracking on my car! lol.

alright.. what do i expect in the next 2 weeks? hmm



and

 

Guys, i have my add on craigslist.

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/pts/2682066306.html

 

I got a used set of JTW S7's.

Before I get it installed, I need a set of headers and ART pipes to go with it and replace my clutch along with a lightweight flywheel while the engine is taken apart. Then I'll need to get re-tuned at Church. Then I'll need gears (4.08) to top it off.

This is gonna be expensive.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

 

bro for the price of shorty headers & ARTs you cound just get some PPE longtubes

 

I thought about LTH, but the only problem is when it comes time to smog. With that said, I really don't want shorties since it's hit and miss.

 

here's a link to some LTH info developing, check the later posts for the good stuff we kinda take it OT but in a good way>>> https://g35driver.com/forums/intake-...headers-5.html also Scott was telling me he has a SMOG guy

 

Well, if you decide to get shorties I still have my Strup headers laying around.

 

^oh snap NICE, deff jump on those then J

 

Those new parts look awesome

 

Are there are any meets going on?

 

you can get more updates at the SDCE forums.

hmm what did i open today? Functions

 

good God the S2's are good!!! i was honestly hella ready to be happy w/a small gain up top but WOW, the cams really completed my whole setup. i knew my headers weren't doing much for me w/o cams but D@MN, honestly it's like a whole new motor. here are a few quick details...

- idle is much more "gurgly"
- throttle feels more responsive across the board(even down low, very surprised)
- 3-4k is super "meaty" just feels like there's so much more pedal left
- high RMP is INSANE but still extremely linear
- low RPM has less drone
- fuller sound/feel to the exhaust note across the board
- it just pulls so much harder now

i know most of you out there are dyno junkies and are disappointed i don't have any numbers, so i'm going to do my best to get on a dyno or track soon. just gonna be tough w/my baby due at the end of this month.

HUGE thank yous go out to Scott@RA and all the guys at JWT!!!

 

a few other things you might not know about my build...

- when i originally had it tuned @ Technosquare it was tuned specifically for mid-range gains not top-end
- usable daily mid-range power has always been my priority w/the car, though not insanely impressive on dyno's(people always look for peak gains). it's where as a DD i'd be enjoying my car, also why i chose the 5/16 spacer over the 1/2
- i always wanted cams but shied away after TS stopped tuning(i have an early '03 ECU).
- i knew the breather mods on my car where a bit of overkill on my car w/o cams but would come in handy if the opportunity ever arrived.
- i originally compensated for said "overkill" w/drive-train mods(3.7FD gears + TransGo = tightened everything up)
- i specifically chose the JWT S2 cams because of their mild nature, basically fit w/the rest of my build. other cams peak higher but sacrifice low-end
- i was really pleased w/SG's results w/the S1 cams in the Modified Mag cam shootout(highest gains w/no loss down low), the S2 is basically an improved(more reliable/stable idle) version of the S1
- i had no intention of turning my car into a high RPM queen w/a more aggressive cam
- i did NOT do springs as my rev limiter was only raised to 7100 RPM by TS but i did have new DLC coated buckets installed

i HIGHLY recommend these cams to anyone w/similar goals. before these the biggest difference i felt in my car was the tune, w/gears & shift kit running a close second. the S2's have completely trumped those two.
