installed 264/264 cams, sound clip

My friend and I installed his old crower cams, I think they're the equivalent of 264/264. He upgraded to the 272/272. Install took about 2 hours going at a slow pace. We did it the way where you don't remove the timing belt, worked great. Except we should have swapped the cam seals out the first time. Had to take it back down bc they leaked once we got it going. Not a big deal though, works great now.

Above 5k it sounds a bit raspy but I like the idle. We used the stock cam gears and it idles okay. It could probably use cam gears since it only pulls about 12 vacuum, but I don't feel the need to spend money on it.

It lopes, but it idles fine. Doesn't try to die coming to a stop, just always hovers around 900. Butt dyno says pretty good gains above 3000. Just waiting for an EVO3 + FMIC and I'll be all set

Thought I'd post this for those who were curious to what it'd sound like. I love the idle.

Are the new cams you put in hks or crower?

I love the idle of hks 272's you can hardly hear any lope in idle. The only difference is the vaccume is around 13" of hg, instead of 20" of hg.

Sounds nice...I can't wait to hear what my 272's sound like with my exhaust open from the cat back.

He put in brand new crower cams, I put in his old crower cams. By old I mean they're old, so they probably do a better job of grinding them. Stock my car pulled 20-22" at idle, now it's 10-12". We think the exhaust cam grind is off and cam gears would pull the vacuum back up, bc even his 272s are pulling 10-12". It's fine w/ stock cam gears though.
