Hey Satan, how's the idle with the stage 3's? Do you also have an aftermarket T/B? (No idle adjustment on those)

I don't understand why everyone asks me about the idle? It's fine. I have a stock TB bored out.

Tuning is everything...

Your stage 3 cams also have the performance NON-VTEC cam lobes correct? Or did you have them replicate the stock non-vtec lobes and have the Stage 3 VTEC lobes? I think what people just want to know is if it took lots of tuning to get a nice idle...I mean was it bad without the tuning?

Some people have noticed that Crower has Stage 2 cams, but with stock low cam lobes. (For a stable idle) Someone that has never placed cams on their cars (like me) wonder if the next stage, (3) may have a rough idle because it may be geared towards racing or for a 1/4 mile.

We H22a's do not have much to choose from as far as cams. (From what I have seen)
Crower, Gude, Crane (Never heard anyone talk about these), Type S, Skunk2.

Wonder if Toda, Jun or Spoon will make H22a Vtec cams?

Toda won't make cams for the H22. Jun already has some for the H22... don't know if Spoon is planning to or not.

Did anyone do a before and after dyno comparison when installing their cams ?
I thought Gude had only 1 cam for the H22 ?
What are the specs on the Web cams ?

Performance lobes as well, as far as I know Crower does offer stock idle lobes on the Stage 3 cam...kinda goes against the all out drag profile.

You have to realize that my cams were in the stock location...they haven't been overlapped.

Did it take any tuning to get a nice idle though?

I looked on the Jun site and did not find their H22 Vtec cams. Just wondering what kind of specs they have compared to others...

Thanks for the site, Mover. I went to the JUN USA site, not the Jp site. I'm sure they would run around 1k+ for those...... ?
