@ OP, if you can try to drive a car with a converter if you've never had a bigger aftermarket one, to see if you like it. A Circle D 3200 can drive very nice, and you'll hardly notice it after a week. Their 3600 would do even better, but you are making a big move from the stock one which is like a 1600/1700.

Ryan, is the one in your car ultimately a 4000, Jim @ Speed thought it might even be a bit bigger (though it would have been looser with stock gearing).
John iirc it's the MLee cam, just search and you should get a few hits, I'd do it but I'm on my phone lol

Flashes right at 4000 according to the datalogs from NPR when I ran there. Been thinking about going up to the 2e.

So did you save any money? lol New ones are like 900 right?

Correct. We only have custom built FTI units having bracket raced for years with most others mentioned. Have had good luck with the others, but FTI has never let us down and runs quicker than any others of equivilant spec we have ever run.
