Talked to MR B for a bit and he recommends stage 3. He said he had stage 2 and it didnt hit as hard as he wanted. Im not sure how aggressive I will need but ill definitely take his first hand testimony of stage 2 into consideration. Ill wait and see what ZZP says along with Josh who is building the car and make a final call. Thanks again for talking me through the basics of cams MR B.

That sounds pretty interesting. I would put more thought into cams for my blower setup, but I will most likely be taking them out next year anyways.

Can u tell me anything about these cams? Ive been considering getting a set of cams but dont see any options out there and a general lack of information. I know gains are to be had but im not sure where to start. Not looking for a donkey dick roller cam with a crazy lobe but a mild cam for dd

Edit: saw posts above

but still any more info and experience is great

What does that have to do with me going turbo? lol its always been the long term plan for my car, but back then there was really no TVS. I enjoy my TVS a lot but when I am done with it I am sticking to my plan and going turbo. Gotta keep up with everyone else in my shop somehow

Who knows maybe it wont be next year.

Yes, I have to replace the mirror bracket, shifter lever, rubber grip on the left side, and the main red fairing on the left side. The rest is unscathed. I was only going 20-30 mph when it happened thank goodness.
