So, the point of this thread is Q&A:
1. where did you install them
2. other mods that you have
3. your impressions / dyno charts
4. any problems / issues
5. how many miles/kilometres do you done with them installed
???
I'm personally interested in the answers on the above questions because I'm having a nightmare with my 5504402 Catcams and the performance loss.
In every setup that I had this cams car was slower than before the cams and I don't know what's the cause of it?!
The cams have been installed the last time with the timing tool from KTech Racing and the car has been remapped...
However - the dyno charts showed loss of power (~170bhp) and when I raced my friends that I've raced before (and they had nothing done to their cars) I was more than 5 lengths of a car slower than before the cams.
My mods were:
V6 airbox & K&N panel filter
matched/ported inlets
head work (ported valve "tunnels")
catcams 5504402
y-pipe
decat
miltek exhaust
lightweight flywheel
remap
Best results I had with:
V6 airbox & K&N panel filter
matched/ported inlets
miltek exhaust
lightweight flywheel
remap
of course - the remap was always different, depending on the setup.
I'm seeing noticeable gains on the KTech web page and I refuse to believe it's just a marketing trick, but I had nothing but trouble with the cams and the agony started on March 2010. with the first install of the cams (had at least 3 more, 2 made engine fail).
TBH - I'm really jealous when looking at all those power figures with the same hardware that I have/had, and I had nothing but the loss of:
Power
Engine
Money
Nerves
In this order.
