we're installing on Nov 10-11ish. I am going to need new shims to finish it up so I would say it will be 100% complete by Nov 14 at the latest. I'm going to get some dyno time in before then after the install, I just need to coordinate the dates with the rest of the team.

installed. After a couple of set backs with some minor issues it is complete.

They are amazing !!! These cams make a huge difference in the way the car accelerates. My power band is way to the right more (higher PRMs). The car PULLS unitl redline, no dropoff !!! I can feel the torque hold better in the higher RPMs too. These are dabomb.com, no jive.

next is the dyno. Hopefully this week we can get in, I will keep you all posted with results.

Nice work T-bone!

i might have to come down during my turkey day break and get a ride!

Can't wait for the dyno!

oh yea... pics of the install!?!? I need a new desktop

mmm, I want some on my car. I wonder if I'd break 250 WHP with these, and water/methanol injection, at 10 PSI. hmm

not gonna happen on a ct-26 @ 10psi.....maybe 15...and race gas..MAYBE.

ill tell ya tho...its AMAZING the diffrence the cams make.

the car now has power up to and PAST redline, it changes the way the whole car feels.

good job D!
JDM GUY
FTW!

cant wait for the dyno results. post up some install pics.

hmm wonder how they play with the corolla header?

Very interesting I can't wait to see the specs. However I am curious where your mileage was at before and how it has changed with the new cams, (considering you drive it without mashing the happy pedal!!) If mileage hasn't changed dramatically I might order them.... Let us know how there working!!! Awesome...

with a 7a, well we'll see in a few weeks

as for mileage, about the same but now I drive faster because I tend to hit higher RPMs because they're usefull now !!

calling tomorrow (Manny) to set up dyno time for this Saturday (the 1st)

ok here's the pics.



the cams





and my nose



now the real info



now my motor has 156K miles on it and my compression was low, but consistant.

here's a comparison was another 5s, 1998 51K miles on it



and some #s info



and the INFO

my 5s topped out at 123whp and 126ft/lbs of torque.

on the 1998 stock 5s (intake) at 4700 RPMs it doesn't make any more power, it drops hp like a rock. My 1995 156K 5s continues to make hp. I peaked out close to redline and CONTINUED TO MAKE POWER until then. So at redline (about 6000 RPMs) I had about 123hp while the stock had The stock 5s 103hp. As for torque, the 98 drops off at 4700 and mine continued hold out longer. I had 110ft/lbs of torque and the stock 98 had 92ft/lbs.

The bottom line is I didn't dyno my car before the cams were installed so I don't know exactly were I'm starting from. From the research I've done they seem to average around 105-110hp to the wheels. If my motor was in peak condition like the 98 then I have gained about 10hp to the wheels. The important thing here is my car now holds the power later in the RPM band and where any other stock 5s drops off, my car continues to make power, right to redline.

now when I turbo...

AWESOME. Thats great stuff right there.

VERY interesting results, Dustin! The fuel curve changed a lot from the stock one. It looks like you could reclaim some of that low end in the 3-4.5k range by removing some fuel with the safc. the 4.5-6 rage is definitely flowing a lot more air then before, and making really nice power. I think you are ready to smoke some silvertops.

yea Art for that run I had no corrections until about 4500, I corrected a little more later and things are more inline now.

hmm, how much work you done on it (intake & filter, full exhaust, cams)
pretty good for the miles its done, nice and smooth

how much are you losing through the gearbox?
I lose 10kw, but I still hold 147HP(with just an air filter)

good to compare when you turbo it.

how does the low end feel now though? it looks like you actually lost torque, and the low end power is what makes the car fun to drive IMO.

wow the power difference after 4000 rpm is impressive.
good job batman!

very awesome... so did you send your cams off to get modified, or where did you get them? i'm looking for a set (maybe) for my 3rd gen 3s.

trust me, this car is 100X more fun to drive than a stock cammed 5s.

you also have to take into account that his engine has 3X the miles on it, and has ALOT more wear, which makes for lower overall #s.
