wow, stage 3 crowers
. Thats the full race cam correct? don't you mean they don't idle toooo wild as in they come close to shaking your mirrors off
, lol, j/k. really, how bad is the idle? like scale on 1-10, 1 being stock and 10 being unbearable. also, that can't be your whole setup, with stage 3 cams.....is it...?

Cam: Skunk2 Stage 1 for SOHC
Bought from: BlackEG
Cost: $220 shipped ($435 brand new)
Quality: 10
Specs:
IN. 0.470, 240;
EX. 0.445, 240
Setup:
RedZone Performance Chipped P28 Program, Custom 2.75" Intake, 4-1 Header, testpipe, JDM ITR B-Pipe, Custom Mugen Style axle back
Comments:
Overall it's a great cam...got some nice valvetrain noice. I found that my 2.75" Intake pipe yielded better gains topend than my 2.5", also made the vtec engagement a whole lot louder. From what I can tell...the cam makes power to about 7500 roughly...and I'm revin it up to about 7700 with my program. The extended powerband on this cam helps out when racing B-Series cars that are revin that high or higher. To date...I've raced and beat a GSR w/ Full bolt-ons and chipped ECU, and GSR Swapped EK w/ I/H/E, and a B20/Vtec Integ w/ intake, skunk2 stage 1's, AEBS manifold, being the fastest three. I've been told that everyone in the areas I've raced think I have a B16 or GSR swap.
One complaint have that I noticed...when I cold start the car...the engine doesn't start up like it used to...it's slowly increases in RPM's. Don't know if it's the cam or my engine is old(190k miles).
