DGM's cams are not installed yet. They will be in 2 weeks. I wouldn't be expecting a big Lopey cam like a v8 I would search online and look at 350-370z stock with the nismo cams it would probably give you an idea on cam noise. Because with these cams we don't need to upgrade the valves as springs which has me thinking it'll have noticeable extra noise but nothing really loud.

Cool but I have cutouts so it might be louder and trifectas ghost cam sound is really loud with the cutouts open. Just wondering if these will be louder than the ghost cam.

Saving my cash in case, I'm sure it will be, it's worth it.

Oh ghost cams..... Are people actually still running those?

KaBoom1701 · 05-10-2015, 11:32 PM

Interesting....

I'm curious how much RWHP you gain with these...

Idk about those. Can't be good for the engine right?

Last I heard of ghost cams is trifecta stopped supplying that tune because it caused an engine misfire. Which I don't think hurt the engine when using them occasionally. But in the long run it probably does. However this is purely speculation from what I've heard. Only trifecta has the answer for that. Yeah they sounded cool but I never likes them because well they aren't a real set of cams lol

Jenner · 05-11-2015, 12:47 AM

They do sound awesome. I would like to listen to that often so it wouldn't be good for my engine.

crc91 · 05-11-2015, 12:57 AM

I look at them like those turbo whistle you can buy for your exhsust, yeah it sounds kinda cool but ultimately it's a novelty bc when a guy with real cams or a real turbo pull next to you .... You're gunna look like a goof. However different strokes for different folks!

Jenner · 05-11-2015, 01:00 AM

I agree, even though I thought about it when I thought the mace lfx cams were never gonna happen.

Well the Australian build seemed to pick up a good amount of power, but it also included tune. The guess is 30ish rwp, but I'd say anywhere from 25 - 40. Hopefully we'll soon find out.

We just need to hope that whomever tunes these bad boys does a good job, b/c otherwise we may never see the full potential. I'm hoping they can get help from the tuner in Australia to lend some support.

Every tuner that offers the trifecta tune still has ghost cam available.

True, but with open cutouts they sound evil, without the cutouts I don't think they sound as good on the six.
