Im looking at getting some cams and just wanted to insight on them. Im between stage 2 and 3 but i want the car to still be drive able as it is my DD. Anyone running stage 3?

 

Lnf? Lsj? Turbo Lsj? M62/Tvs Lsj?

 

lsj m62. planning on stage 3 2.8 e85 this winter and i wanted to do cams and valve springs this winter. Eventually goin tvs

 

The only reason you should go with the stage 2 cams is because it allows for a more streetable powerband. If you read on ZZP's website the stage 3s move the powerband much higher than anyone would be able to use on a DD setup.

 

thats what i saw. They said peak power was at 9500. i dont even know when id get up that high lol

 

Never. That's when lol.

 

Im just hoping to get that nice loby idle. Always turns heads with my trans am. So i figured when ppl see a cobalt sounding like that theyre jaws will drop

 

Go with the stage 2s and a nice exhaust.

 

i got a 3 inch zzp catless with magnaflow resonator and muffler

 

The question I never see answered with the stage 3 is; "where is it giving up the power?"

"moves the powerband" insinuates a loss of lower rpm power, but where? how much?

for example, if its below 2000, but everything from 3 to 8 is still an increase over stage 2, then yeah, I might never see 95, but I would still have gains, and might be able to stomach the loss at 200 and below.

but without a stated powerband, or dyno info, or something, who can make an educated decision?

I've seen the dyno comparos between stage one and stage 2,but never a comparo of stage 2 and stage 3.

anybody ?

 

Don't know if there is a dyno comparison. But I would imagine it's very similar to stage 1 to stage 2.

 

do u have a link to the dyno comparisons for stage 1 and 2? ive never seen any numbers with these cams at all. They brag with their dyno sheets for CAI but dont even put one up for cams. Makes me wonder if the gains are worth it
