I have a pair but haven't ran them yet since my motor is being built. I haven't heard of anyone not happy with them and FP cams just rock.

Um, isn't that something you would generally ask, BEFORE ordering parts? Or do you have plans for a larger turbo already?

1996 Eagle Talon TSi
Rebuilt 6 bolt longblock
Walbro 255/regulator/780s
3" exahust
Magnus sheetmetal
FMIC
ect.

I run FP2s, and when I was on my PTE SCM-50, the car pulled like a ####ing freight train up top, and having the sheetmetal really helped the top end as well. I blew up the 50 trim, and will be buying a new EvoIII 16g in a few weeks, but I have been running on the most supported 14b ever, hahahaha. Cams really still shine on my weak ass 14b setup. I still preffer them over the HKS 272/272, though you don't get any of the sweet ass lope that you do with the HKS

RipperXX: I actually got a really good deal on them and I wasn't going to pass it up... I just want to know what to expect with them

thanks for the input so far!

I ran 12.0@115 on a 50 trim, smim, and fp2 cams with some serious granny shifting The car pulls crazy up top and I gained 6 mph from the smim/fp2 came combo and 5 lb/min of airflow

The only thing I hate is that it sounds so stock, i love the bumpy cam idle damn, i'm such a ricer

I love my Fp2's also. Never ran them with any other turbo than my green, but they pull pretty good up top.

Will I need to retune my car at all after installing the cams? Or can I just leave the settings that my car was tuned on prior to the install?

 

[nightspeed87]

Probably would get more out of it if you retuned it.

 

[blcknspo0ln]

different airflow requires a new tune.

how do the bc272's idle compared to the fp2's?
