I asked him the cost and if it was done on a purely stock lfx and he never did get back to me. He may have gotten busy or my message could've gotten lost in a sea of emails im sure they get daily. but i asked him the price and everything again and hopefully he'll get back to me soon!

40rwhp with just the heads....seems like I've read this somewhere else before (was it earlier in this thread??). Anyways, almost sounds too good to be true, and with a proper cam swap I wonder what kind of gains could be had then? 60+rwhp???

That would be incredible, but even so I bet you'd be looking at a 3 - 4 thousand dollar or more parts and labor bill. By that time your only a few grand away from a supercharger or turbo setup, but then again, I'd love to see an ultimate n/a V6 build.

Been wanting to see one for a long time, but finding someone that really wants to do it, and has the means to do it is a very rare thing. Not to mention we are still waiting to see if cams will ever become a successful product in these cars.

Nope....there was an issue with the original cams he was sent so the project was aborted. Last update, he said they were resending cams and paying for his costs, but that was a while ago. No updates since.

Damn this is rough looks like I'll have to start putting this money towards an upfront or IPA twin set up

[crc91]

Bump

There is a transition going on, it is not dead yet. I am in talks with the person doing this. He is setting up a new shop and then will get back on it. We are looking to get some real gains, FI and NA....

[crc91]

Thanks for the good news sycraft! The guy doing this is he making his own head and cam package? Bc I heard the mace cams are pretty much a dead end

[sycraft]

yes, he has a cam company he is working with and can do the heads too.he is in need of a set of oe cams for r/d if anyone has a set around... possibly looking to do a build by years end, I know that's a long time. but the shop is just getting the foundation poured.

[garvyf22]

Hope the head and cam package is a reasonable price. Lol

From what I have read, "OE" cams are relatively cheap .... maybe he can just buy them himself or someone can donate the 4 cams needed .... I think I read they are only $75/each .....

[mr02Z/28]

If I could be certain the gains will be significant, I would buy him the cams myself for the testing and development ....
