Default Crower Cams have been released for the S2k

http://briancrower.com/makes/honda/f20cf22c.shtml

From what I see, we already have a set running around here locally. Just waiting on dyno results. The gains sound promising. Details on that here: http://www.s2ki.com/forums/ind...42778

Discuss.

Todd already had the car on the dyno...numbers were not looking good. For others not familiar, the car is an NA with EMS.

Todd wants to put the stock ecu back in and run the dyno again.

So far...the BC cams have been tested on an NA and FI car...results were not living up to expectations on either. Really too bad...was thinking hard about a set myself.

hmm i never really like Crower. This just approves my thoughts. But they will most likely get fixed and such.

Yea, and this is why i was skeptical. I dont get how a company can release cams without proven dynos to sell them. Are they just tested in theory? THIS is why i am die hard IPS when it comes to cams. Until someone can do what ron does.

This is Brian Crower, who according to some people is a member of the Crower family but branched off to start his own line of products. it's not the same as the http://www.crower.com folks.

yeah, I know they had issues too. I was just pointing out that it's not the same. I read on the Crower website that since 2005 their b series cams are stronger and not prone to breakage. Who knows.

You guys are confusing Crower cams with Briancrower cams. They are two entirley different companies.
