My stage 3's are completely streetable, no problem at all.
My car sounds alot like Marks...........
Yes, the added problem is keeping your foot out of it.
I haven't had a great chance to judge the additional gains at the track due to clutch issues, but that would be for another thread and the problems are with my new Spec STG 2, not the RPS.

Ok, thats close but there is a part on your vid were there is a noticable lop but its only a couple seconds long. The guy at the Dyno Day had none at all.

I also had just started the car... After it warms up and the idle drops, it's even lopier.

sounds like he is an idiot. You don't buy cams for the sound... well, unless you are him apparently.

The sound is just a bonus. I'm much happier with the improved performance.

well that explains it then.....I was going to ask you what your idle was set at. kinda sounded like it was running a little fast. I would like to hear your car once it gets to operating temp to see how lopey it really is, I love a nice lopey cam. Wish I still had my vids of my T/A you guys would have loved the sound of that car.

I talked to justin at JPC racing about these cams and stated that he would have some in about a week but you can order them now.
The car in the video idles at 900rpm.and the gain is 20-25rwhp.

the cost of those cams and labor is not worth 25rwhp. Unless you are completely building up a long block
