You dont really ever hear about anyone having the cams that are out for our cars. If you do. What do u think. and a sound clip would be huge!!!!!

 

Agreed, this is one of those "down the road" things I've been considering.

 

Yeah, whoever has cams, could you please get some video of it, or sound of it starting up and idling, and if you dynoed the car with them, could you post up the dyno sheets???

 

There's somebody i was talking to that is the offical tester for JBP stage 3 cams. I think he said sumtin like april but not sure, either way it should be sweet.

 

I do not have them but they are for sale HERE

 

Yeah but i know of at least 3 people i have heard who have cams. I think right now its a risk to go with the cams. but then again. everyone is so caught up in the stage kits

 

WTF BRO! like 20 posts of the same thing.

 

lol i know. i dont know what happened. i got it fixed though. it would go through. but i guess it did

 

GMPP has a cam set and COMP CAMS has 5 different sets of cams. http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Ca...2006/Page1.jpg

I think that girl on here that's holding the NY tag has cams!!??


Scott

 

so u can get some cams under warranty?

 

stage 1 cams here. couldnt be happier.

 

well how are your results

 

Spooler, did you have to tune them? If so, what did you use to tune them? How does it idle? Was it a big gain in acceleration/hp?

 

i recently got a code, but dont really care, since i have a power gain. never tuned them, dont know how. i got 12whp w/my cams.

 

I got JBP Stage 2 Cams,
but they will require tuneing. I get a non-performance effecting code. (info on JBP site)
but my car is stock except for the cams, and the cams cause the supercharger to over boost, and the by-pass valve dumps the boost back to stock levels at about 5600RPM from 100kpa to 87kpa (14.6 to 12.5).

plus side is, I make stock HP about 1000RPM sooner. (dyno on JBP site)
I tried the boost by-pass mod, and and the car pulled much harder, and I hit the rev limiter much quiker at about 110Kpa ( 16psi). I'd leave the mood but I'm worried about leaning out.

 

so your saying your having problems with your cams?

 

And none of you guys with cams have a camcorder? Please

 

Yeah I heard that all the cams throw codes. I'm wondering if it's a code like the intake throws such as it being safe or not. Because the p0171 code the intake throws doesn't mean the car is lean, it's because the ecu is really sensitive and gay and you don't have to worry about it.

 

what about using MAF-T with the cams...would that correct the CEL?

 

The Comp Cams stage one we sell work really well. Also the "blower" cams for the 2.0 work really well. Nice top end HP increase. No dyno results, but I have driven a car with these cams.

 

Hey turbo Tech. if i got the stage 2 or 3 cams. would i need valve springs or any other product to go along with it? also. how much is a basic install for these cams on our cars?

 

Install IMO would take about 2-3 hours, so $150-250 range i would guess to get installed.

The ecotec cams are actually easy to change, well atleast to the 2.4L LD9 out of the Cavalier.

If you dont want computer mods i would not recomend getting the stage 2 or 3.

You might get away with the stage 2 with no valve springs, but i know for a fact you need them for the stage 3 as we have them (in a 2.2L Ecotec).

 

not really car runs just as well as it did before, except for the additional power, and the starting problem.

the code I get is the P0017 NOT P0171.
the P0017 can only be read with the Tech 2, and then had to be looked up on the computer ( dealer data base). P0017 as a code indicating that the Cam angle, is different then the Crank angle, it has to do the way the cam is made. this is also directly related to the starting problem I'm haveing.

 

hey player what kind of starting problems are you havin

 

Just curious... Stage 1 cams, gains and price???? Any problems with the stage1? If that gives me 10-12 hp im in.
