I got the 294 grind, which is an overall preformance grind. The other grind they do (the 101) is more for non-stock internals, lower compression, ect., not really what is best for my situation.

the plan

First I need to dyno the GT for the control. Then install, re-shim the valves, new valve seals since we're in there, and then dyno again with some tuning. Then compare the results.

From what I understand (on a 5th gen 5s) this should fatten my power band pretty nice. The mr2 guys get about +20 hp to the wheels with these. Now if I can get at least that with these, it should make a big difference when I turbo...

comments are welcome.

ok here's the pics.



the cams





and my nose



now the real info



now my motor has 156K miles on it and my compression was low, but consistant.

here's a comparison was another 5s, 1998 51K miles on it



and some #s info



and the INFO

my 5s topped out at 123whp and 126ft/lbs of torque.

on the 1998 stock 5s (intake) at 4700 RPMs it doesn't make any more power, it drops hp like a rock. My 1995 156K 5s continues to make hp. I peaked out close to redline and CONTINUED TO MAKE POWER until then. So at redline (about 6000 RPMs) I had about 123hp while the stock had The stock 5s 103hp. As for torque, the 98 drops off at 4700 and mine continued hold out longer. I had 110ft/lbs of torque and the stock 98 had 92ft/lbs.

The bottom line is I didn't dyno my car before the cams were installed so I don't know exactly were I'm starting from. From the research I've done they seem to average around 105-110hp to the wheels. If my motor was in peak condition like the 98 then I have gained about 10hp to the wheels. The important thing here is my car now holds the power later in the RPM band and where any other stock 5s drops off, my car continues to make power, right to redline.

now when I turbo...
