hello.

i was wondering if anyone on this board has the Crower Stage 1 camshaft? i'm curious to see what you think about them, the types of gains you received, and possibly reliability? i'm planning on going with the stage 1 because with the stage 2s, i would have to pick up the springs and retainer set, and get an aftermarket ecu like emanage to tune the car with.

oh, and to anyone that has the stage 1 cams, did you tune you car after you installed them?

thanks for the feedback

 

Last time I checked, you get around 10hp and 12 ft/lbs of torque, at the crank, which doesn't add up to much at the wheels. Maybe, say 5whp. I'd say it isn't worth it, unless you're planning a turbo kit in the future.

 

what about the stage 2? hmm 5whp, interesting...!

 

stage 2 requires a lot of work, and is totally not worth it.

Cam+springs and retainers + a tuning system = $$$$$

Plus i hear the gains arent even that great, and its VERY hard to tune it to be streetable.

 

my opinion..not worth it


boost that ****!!!

 

if you boost, dont you need to buy the stage 2 turbo shafts anyways?

 

no... u can boost without doing any head work

 

i dont even think ude get to much of a gain from turbo cams on a low boost application. I though Turbo cams are usually designed for higher PSi's. Leave the stocker in.

 

just boost it...hope to see you at the next meet

 

oh yeah? you going to the national meet?
