A guy that's buying my Spec A cams wants to run them on his ITR with OEM camgears for a while. Of course this isn't the best way to do it, but do you see any problems in doing so?

Also, will the Spec As make more power on oem camgears then the oem cams on stock camgears?

Thanks.

 

I don't see any problems but the power band problem won't be as smooth as stock.

chris ur selling your R now?? why may i ask?

le - who feels so far behind on things now

 

Put the VTEC at 5200-5300 and it WILL be smooth.

Stock isn't a smooth transition. 5200 w/ Spec A's is like butter.

He'll pick up 15hp after tuning... but I'm sure it'll still be faster than OEM ITR cams at 0 int, 0 exh.

 

LOL...you call the stock powerband smooth? Good Lord

Jason-
who thinks an untuned Spec B idle is smoother than the stock vtec xover

 

So oem itr camgears with spec A's will be fine then I take it.

I don't see how the powerband will be any rougher though. The power will probably be in different places, but he's mainly concerned if he'll have more total power or not with the As over the stock cams.

I think he has a apexi vtec controller, so x-over point will not be a problem.

 

I drop in my cams and made less hp than the stock cams with the settings at zero. So there is the possiblity that his will do the same.

 

What kind of cams though? Spec A's aren't that radical and are based on the oem Honda core.

 

Skunk Stage 1's. Mild cam also. Made 5whp less everywhere with the settings at zero. I think any cam will have to be tuned imo.

 

20hp loss just dropping in Spec As

 

Huh? You didn't say that in your IM.

 

Maybe he meant from the potential hp

 

Maybe, but all I'm asking is if they will be better than the stock cams.

 

i just remembered.
i made 172 before spec As, and 150 after

 

So you dialed back in 22hp+ with camgears alone?

 

172 before
150 no tuning
190 with tuning
200 with overhaul and tuning

 

Sakai, the tune master!
