Anyone used a Crower Stage 2 cam on a Y8? It says in the specs that there's a slight lope in the idle. I'm wondering what exactly a "slight" lope is? I don't mind if my car isn't smooth as silk, but I don't want it sounding like an old diesel when it idles. Has anyone used/heard one?

 

thats exactly how it will sound. i would get the springs and retainers too just in case. but it does haul ass.

 

So it idles really rough? Maybe I'll look at just a Stage 1 instead, then.

 

i'd imagine stage 3 sounding rough, but stage 2 shouldn't be bad.

 

Where can you get this the cheapest?

 

try http://www.nipponpower.com they're usually pretty cheap. i have a stage 1 in my car and it made a big difference with the right tuning.

 

Thanks, now which is better, crower or zex. zex is cheaper. Anyone have experience getting cheap zex?

 

Is your cam a regrind or new billet? I had good luck with my Zex cam so far (street/strip), but am always interested in trying out other SOHC cams. So far all the other cams I've looked at were regrinds.

 

The crower is not a regrind.

And nobody got the joke in my previous post

 

You might have asked a little too much in terms of spell checking from our fellow HAN members - well, better late than never......
