I have the stage 1 cams and I have no regret. I don't think a video would do it justice the way it sounds at idle though. I love the way it sounds when it hovers at 1K.

I also have the Vibrant header and the GMPP touring catback.

meh. I have stage one comp cams in my 2.2 and it didn't do **** besides give me a nice lope. Couldn't tell ya if it helped with spray either because i started spraying after the kit. Maybe its because i'm 6'000 ft above sea level?

I'm not tuned either so of course it would help if i did that.

i have a stage 2 cam with full bolt ons. some days i regret it cause the car is rough, but all in all i love it. I think it is the right cam size for me and my application - only thing is, if you go this route, with a stg2 cam, other bolt on stuff, susp work, and ttr solid mounts...expect the car to be a car you want to drive...not sit in traffic in

ill link you to my youtube, i have alot of vids of the car there, dyno, street, freeway, track, flybys, etc...take a look at those.

he should be closer to 185-190, especially running a low 14. A stock 2.4 makes more power then that

mustang dyno. its the only thing i guess why it so low. next spring i ll do a dyno jet run.

some people say that mustang it more realistic.

3 year ago



127 whp and 127wtq
140 whp and 116wtq

i can tell you that i feel the lost of torque but compare to the ecolag a 5600
we can see a better ecolag jump that nighthawk ecolag jump. can you put you sheet on
