I just got these cams installed in my car 2 days ago(install was done by TSS, those guys are great, they got it done fast and at a very reasonable price), and I have been doing quite a bit of driving around. I only want to say one word about these cams, GREAT!.
My car is moderately modded running FPBig28, 650cc, S-AFC, fuel mods, UICP, LICP, Full exhaust system, and stock everything else, running 16 - 17 pounds of boost on 92 octane.
After the cam install, the car idles great, vacuum went from -19 to -15ish, the exhaust has blurb blurb blurb noise, you can definately tell that car has a meaner tone to it.
First thing I have noticed is that car is more responsive, consistent and fun to drive around. These cams are very streetable, and much better than stock. It feels like it gained some low end power as well as high end power. Car feels stronger throughout the power band. Power delivery is really smooth too, car starts pulling hard around 3000 rpm, and goes all the way to 7500 without any hesitation and car wants to keep pulling unlike the stock cams that would slow down close to red line.
Overall I am really happy with this purchase, I would rate cam upgrade very high on the performance upgrade list, they probably made the biggest difference right after turbo upgrade.
Other things I have noticed after the cam install,today it was over 100 degrees and very humid, car still felt very strong. Usually when the wether is hot like today, I don't even want to drive my car because it feels slow and inconsistant, sometimes it is fast sometimes it is not, not today, it was always very consistant and strong.
Also, My EGT temps are lower by 200 degrees or so when crusing, that though may be due to hot temperatures outside, so I need to do more observing.
I did not datalogged yet to see my timing, and I have not changed my S-AFC settings after the install(since car has been running so much better even in hot weather!) so I will be doing those in the next couple of days.
Overall I am very satisfied and I will be posting my timing results to see if there was any change there.
