Pro 2's or tuner 3's????
Ok I have a 86mm lsvtec with golden eagle sleeves, wiseco 13.1 8.25cc pistons, eagle h-beam rods, 89mm ls crank, RLZ race port job (Brad special) b16 head, supertech everything, skunk2 ultra street wit dual 1mm spacers, sk2 74mm tb, and the 1320 rmf style header wit megaphone, will have a full 3" inch exhaust, 4.7 fd type r trans wit quaife lsd. I have tuner 3's in it right now. I'm putting the motor in the car next week. Now I was told leave the tuners in, but I have the pro 2s also and debating on putting them in. Just want to see what people have to say on which I should run???? Please give real statements that make sense not just some rambling. (I think the header will be my weak link, but we'll see). I will post pics later tonight, have to upload them. Just really want to see what feedback I get. Also I would like to street the car too, this is not just a race car, won't be daily at all, but would like to take it out on the streets for a beat down here and there, another thing to keep in mind. Thanks in advance

Ultra 1's.... well... I tried to get a set of those. Waited 2 months. Was told end of Sept. Then mid Oct. Then the first of November. Apparently testing hasn't been going well. So I stuck with the pro series, which is proven, instead of waiting on a hyped up new product that has yet to deliver, let alone be released. Don't put all your chickens in 1 basket. I'd wait this storm out...

I'm sure the ultra series will work as do their pro series. Can't call it hyped up until you've seen results that indicate them being hype and even then you couldn't. They have the lift and duration to support their potential and hopefully they are at the valve what they advertise this time around.

Yea the ultra k cams are beasts. Another reason I don't doubt them. But that's roller rocker and not finger follower at the same time. Area under the curve is off the chain I've heard with ultra series k cams.

I'm not saying the Ultra series won't perform, all I'm saying is until they work out all the bugs and actually release them (they are months behind at this point) I don't wanna be the first guinea pig as it's been far from smooth. If they live up to the name like the K series have, then we all will reap the benefits of newer, better cams and faster cars.

Added pictures. And to everyone who committed so far thanks, keep the info coming. Never really thought about pro 3 cuz like I said I do want to drive it on the street and I know couple of guys who ran pro 3 and they said they hated them on the street, loved them on track/money runs on the street. But for regular driving they hated them.

From what I hear, regardless of the power gains, the ultras are having wear and rocker wear issues like most high lift cams in b-series. Has anyone had rocker wear issues with pro2 or pro3 cams?

Re: Pro 2's or tuner 3's????
I'll vote for the tuner3's, just to see what they are capable of. I have a similar build with less c/r and less manifold w/ tuner3's. I went with tuners for ease of install (degreeing recommended but not necessary), the whole valvetrain wear rumors, and because there is not a lot of info out there on them.
I think everyone will agree the pro2 will make more power everywhere and better suited for your build.
You have an opportunity to put tuner3's to bed for everyone wondering, myself included, what they are capable of when given enough c/r and manifold.

Re: Pro 2's or tuner 3's????
Yea I think I'm going to use tuner3 first to see what they will do on this motor. If there still feel like I could get more with pro2's then I'll swap them out. But I'm curious myself to see what kind of power tuner3's will make. I was told by Howard of RLZ that they will make the same if not more power than pro2's. So only time and dyno numbers will show the truth.
