Yes so if you're going to do the cam swap, mine as well save up and do the heads at the same time. Ipp will install the cam for you and port match it. $1600. putting the VVEL back together is another story in itself.

We are discussing when JWT releases the stage 2 cam.

FNR32 12-03-2015 04:07 PM

Yea I did miss that. 3kish for 10hp and 30ft lbs. hmmmmmmm

brucelidat 12-03-2015 05:11 PM

the 30 ft lbs is impressive. Hopefuly, the stage 2 will be more like 15+ hp and 30+ lb ft. I'd be in unless it made the car sound awful (to me).

Same here. My car is still bone stock, so im wondering what kind of gains I could expect to see with typical bolt on mods + headers and JWT's new cam, whenever it's released.

Prob the same JWT got or less. For NA motors to make crazy power gain you need to spin the motor. Thats where it get costly almost TT price. Billet crank, dry sump, and forged internal able to handle high revs. Then you have the VVEl which hasn't been tested in high rev situations. I have a spare block:)

My solution before i commit to a dry is the nismo oil pump as set my limiter to 8200.

Im curious who spends time at 3k rpms in a z if you are actually driving it...

brucelidat 12-03-2015 08:47 PM

When you DD it, you spend time there. I rarely have open roads unless I am going out specifically to drive.

Elmo370z 12-03-2015 10:02 PM

i rarely do unless im on the highway.

FNR32 12-03-2015 10:11 PM

I spend quite a bit of time at 3k on the highway, but I don't drive like a bat out of hell everywhere I go. Not all the time. :-P

Damn, I guess it's more labor intensive than the Jun cams. A long time ago, he told me 18 hours for Jun cams.

coming out of corners that 30 extra tq at 3k rpms will pull you right out of there and launch you into the next straight :driving:
