I got the 294 grind, which is an overall preformance grind. The other grind they do (the 101) is more for non-stock internals, lower compression, ect., not really what is best for my situation.

the plan

First I need to dyno the GT for the control. Then install, re-shim the valves, new valve seals since we're in there, and then dyno again with some tuning. Then compare the results.

From what I understand (on a 5th gen 5s) this should fatten my power band pretty nice. The mr2 guys get about +20 hp to the wheels with these. Now if I can get at least that with these, it should make a big difference when I turbo...

comments are welcome.

Very nice, I really wish you would have gotten a baseline of your motor, but hey, if I had the new cams laying around I wouldn't have hessitated either . And using manny's as comparison would be a pretty close accuracy as for the avg. 5s. Very nice.

Not so much of an increase in overall, but GOD at 6krpms! a fattened band of over 20+ hp and torque! No dout this would make for a sweet ride!

thanks frosty
I wish I did get to the dyno before the instal but time and $ were an issue then.
being able to spin the wheels at 5K rpms is nice

I just feel that if you don't intend on upgrading your internals the 294 regrinds would be fine. btw Dustin or Manny, with the regrinds installed is does the car idle a little rough? Like a bit more agrressive in the sound?

the car idles fine, no issues. I did have to replace my 13 year old 02 sensor after the install. With my wideband I noticed m 02 wasn't responding as quickly as it was before the install, so that was a quick fix.

the other talk about a rough idle is due to the different cams (grinds). There are more agrressive grinds that would give you even more top end power/torque and you lose a lot down low as a result. Those would give a rough idle and their really not made for a daily driver.

once again, my idle is perfect, no issues
