first off - heres my setup - d16z w/ 10.5:1 cr, crower valve spring/ret, everything else is pretty much stock - rev is set to 8200

I'm looking for a cam that will give me good power while retaining a decent mpg avg - since I will be driving the car every day and auto x on the weekends

I like the price of the comp cams - $239 from IPP for stage 1 or 2 (wife gave me a budget) - but am unsure of mpg/perf

post serious opinions and experiences w/ performance and gas mileage please - i'd prefer to advoid smart *** / dumb *** replies

 

i dont know any information personally, but i have heard many great things about the stage 1 comp cam...ie people using it in thier daily drivers, and getting close to normal gas mileage, with a noticable difference in power

you can also get a good cam gear (i heard aem gear is nice) and tune it to your daily needs, and then when you auto x tune it for that also

 

Yeah I was really considering the stage 1 - the only thing is stage 2 is the same price - I basically dont want to get stage 1 and find out that 2 is much better with still decent gas mpg . . . thanks for the input

 

have you emiled comp???
also have you looked on a d-series website???

go for the Comp/Zex 59300 stage 2 cam

 

yeah i'm on d-series right now doing research, just not coming up with what I'm looking for - i havent emailed them, guess i could - i like to hear what real peoples results are. . . alot of times they just give you advertised #'s that usually dont mean jack

 

go with the 59300, the idle is alittle lumpy and a little higher but nothing that will be annoying, and you can get the 59300 for 200 bucks shipped on ebay if you look

 

Crower stage 2, only way to go with your c/r

 

Yeah - I did end up going with the Crower stage 2 - hope it works out
