    cams/ supercharger

    I just bought a jrsc street kit. I plan on swapping the pulley out for the 3.8 pulley before i put it in. My question is how will skunk 2 stage 2 n/a cams work with this setup? I have em but they're not in my car yet. Any info will help.. thanks.

    i had BC stage 2 cams on my JRSC setup before and it didnt gain much at all. i was losing psi and power. when i switch stock cams it made more power and psi all around.

    thinking about 650cc injectors
    might need a clutch but was wondering how much power the stock clutch can handle?

    Did you get it tuned with the new cams??? I put the BC stage2 F/I cams in mine and love them. After the final tune I lost about 2psi of boost but made nearly 20 HP. I made more torque but forget the numbers, somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 lb/tf.

    people, people, Hold up a minute. I would advise everyone on this thread to read the post on all the forums about the junk2 cams. I personally have a friend on this forum who had the junk2 stage 2 cams, and he toasted his motor in 2 months maybe less. those cams jump the teeth and that was the end of a 270whp ep3 k frank. please do more research before you guys use those cams. check out k20a.org

    Where are you getting your cars tuned? I conservatively capped my redline at 7,500 rpm because my EP is my daily driver and still made good gains from the cams.

    I only gained about 10whp with the 4.0 pulley on my a3 with the bc stage 2 cams. When i did the 3.8 pulley and meth I saw over 20whp gains with the cams. I was the fastest a3 JRSC on this site till 04ep3hatch came along!

    ok ill say this, these cams cannot make your motor blow. the biggest thing that PROBABLY had to do with it was the dual springs, that is such an increased pressure on the chain, tensioner, and guides its not even funny. there is no need to go that high on a daily driven car, i would only use duals on a race setup revving to 10K. what stage cams did you have? was your tuner knowledgable? and did you abuse the car
