Use and goals for the car? Budget?

Hands down the Toda rep header will be the best fit for your build for the $$

Tuner 2's, Jun III's, BC 3's are all good fits and easy to make power on

I'll go out on a limb and say pro 2's, but it depends how well the PnP/VJ is if they will be efficient...they may be a bit "big" still.

EDIT: By BC 3's I meant buddy club 3's...not Brian crower

Do some searching on here for header tests. You will get a good feel for what direction to go. Also check out the dyno thread at the top of the forum for ideas of builds

define track.... drag? circuit?

roadrace/circuit il take Pro1 , Buddyclub spec3 for sure...

occasional drag il take the pro2 / m22xx / Jun3 / even the s2s2

if you could get the comp to 11.8-12.3:1 that should be good

assuming the usdm magical typeR is the usdm ITR

You already have Rocket valvetrain. Why not Rocket cams to match?

I see you're a bitch. Just delete your account and kill yourself if you're so unhappy in this forum. No one cares.

Default Re: best cams and headers for me??

if skunk2 is having a sale.. that should help the OP some..
we all could use a bit of $ savings lol so i still hold to my list of cams that would work on his set up

pro2 / m22xx / Jun3 / even the s2s2

its just an 1840cc motor we cant forget.. he doesnt have the closest geared transmission and or high final drive.. so a healthy mid and good top end would be more important... not... all top end and poopy mid LOL

pulling from the other thread of 93egsleeper

the stage 2 from ddtech would also prolly fit well.. based on the numbers provided

so any of the above cams will work....

DDTECH's stage 1 would fit this motor better. Or a stage 1 w/ a "twist"

The 2's are bigger than pro 2's...which are pretty on point on a healthy 2L motor.

Read my first post. I didn't mention DDTECH or Rocket in it to avoid BS and people like you putting words in my mouth. I don't buy into the drama. I state facts. You make recommendations on this forum all the time about RM cams.... but do I call you a PR machine? Keep my name out of your mouth...

international arguements. gotta love the internet. lets not get this locked up gentlement.


i think the bc3+ wouldnt be a bad cam at all on this motor, you dont need 8500 ish + rpm to make your peak power and still have a nice midrange. thats what id say based off of reading other peoples builds over the years

I thought the same thing about the BC3+ which is why I mentioned them in my first post. Fits what the OP said he's looking for pretty well.

I don't ever feel like getting in a mindless argument with the robots on here so I try to keep DD and RM out of my posts and let them do their thing on their own. Everyone seems to have a nuse and pitchfork ready at all times

A lot of the cams mentioned are to big on the the exhaust side for this build, which is why DDtech is a better option since they will be customized to his build. If budget is a issue I would go pro2, they work well on mild and big builds.
