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.

add another 1000 on top of that if your going to Seb I already talked to him about it its about 3k for install 25 hour job

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

from what ive been told its 20-25hr install so depending on the labor rate it's up there.

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.

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

brucelidat · 12-04-2015, 12:23 AM

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