    2 can’t afford fuel
    3 too much power

    So, solutions to these issues...
    Reason 1: Keep the car off, it's quiet. No cops.
    Reason 2: Keep the car off, you save gas.
    Reason 3: Keep the car off, no power to get used to.
    Reason 4: Drive a Prius.
    All seriousness, I drive a stage 3 cammed 5th gen and love every reason. I didn't get it cammed in hopes to get more than 16-20mpg combined.

    Your blaming some things on the cam when your tune should definitely be better dialed in. There are a multitude of factors that any competent tuner can dial in better for you. To me a couple of issues that need to be addressed by symptom I.e injection timing dialed in, spark needs revamping, idle under over to get the chop a little more refined.also dialing in your vve will help alot with transient fueling.

      @@musclebone7875 No. People should start being concerned about gearing when they get their car tubbed and start putting tall tires on it. For an automatic, a higher stall converter is what needs to be looked at when cams start getting large. If it's a manual, then a performance clutch is the answer. Gearing is to compensate for tire size.

Picked up 44 more whp, drivability is just like stock now, gained 1.5mpg back, and now have great power throughout all rpm range, but the performance and sound of the Stage 4 cam. Point of the story......find a real good tuner! True story!

    @Frantissimo 3 года назад +5

    cams dont make your engine "louder" just sounds different because of lobe separation and duration being modified. bigger cams tend to draw more vacuum so idle struggles. still draws a lot of attention though since your car sounds like its misfiring at idle but no not louder.

    • @davelowets
      @davelowets 2 года назад

      The fuck they don't.... A big cam allows much more airflow, which WILL equate to more noise out the exhaust. Also, a big cam does NOT "draw more vacuum". They cause the engine to draw LESS vacuum because of more valve overlap. Stick to dispensing advice about a subject you're actually knowledgeable about.

    • @Frantissimo
      @Frantissimo 2 года назад

      @@davelowets it's actually more airflow at the wrong timing events hence why cars sound like they are struggling when idling with a cam. I've always considered performance cams as a hidden turbo because more airflow happens at the later rpm (when the cam reuses exhaust gases to if it's new fuel this is where they get their airflow from) I do see where you're coming about a bigger sound coming from more airflow but I don't see it unless it's a huge lift and such a long duration of a cam that you'd even have to raise your idle level to over the 1k mark to even keep it running but you don't see those in everyday driving cuz they require so much stuff around it that's not practical for everyday driving
