y dont you try calling up a cam place, web cams for example, and ask them if they're any available and what they'd do for you. they'll have a better answer.

 

well thats because if i ask those guys, you know that they are gonna say anything just to sell something...so i'd rather ask the person that knows more about it and what it can do...

 

well no offense to todd, but he doesnt have an auto lude. his girl's old prelude was an s, so there was no use in trying to do anything. his prelude is a stick, so is his girl's new one. they're gonna operate somewhat different due to the setup (shift points in the rpm)


i've called people at cam places before and they've been fairly helpful with the info. just told them i was checking around to see what was available and what type of gains i should expect. you might call at least two places and see what they have to offer. you should get similar results from both places on their setups.

 

thanks for the info...

 

Cams in an auto actually can help you a little, but not as much as in a 5spd. You can't go to crazy on top end because you'll lose bottom end, and unlike a 5spd, you can't rev to 3k then take off.

But I did my research on cams and automatics a few times actually. Call WebCam @ 909-369-5144. I deal with Melissa or Laurie most of the time (both are VERY nice), but the actual tech guy I dealt with is Steve.

 

okay, so i was wrong on the auto part , but yeah, like i said, calling is a good thing

 

Well, Fassells old car was an auto, and Tina's old car was an auto. On top of that, I've been asked about H22A cams for an SS several times.

You couldn't have known... I just do more research than most people think.

 

thanks for the info jg....i know that the h23 is very hard to get parts for, is there other places that you can get cams for besides webcams?....i'm thinking about going the route of FI but not till the summer....and i just wanted to get my car ready and start getting parts for it....thanks...
