Revolver Cam Test! HKS who?

It's quite simple . . . on paper anyway:
- The Revolvers have the same effective duration as a set of HKS 280s, but with a little more lift. If the extra lift makes a difference on a stock EVO head or not has yet to be determined.
- If installed straight up, the Revolvers are comparable to HKS 280s installed at +.5/-.5. This means you WILL have a choppy idle, so expect it. You WILL also need an effective means of tuning and preferrably a dyno session to go along with that.
- IF you want a smoother idle from the Revolvers and want to lose as little midrange punch and spool time as possible, I'd opt for a -.5/+.5 setting. If you need a smoother idle still, try -1/+1.

Actually as installed straight up, I like the slightly tighter lobe centerlines of the Revolver cam set better than the HKS. To match the lobe centerlines I'm using, you'd dial the Revolvers to +1.5/-.5. I'd be cautious about doing that however, because the actual result may be a little extreme.

All I have to say is I love my Revolver cams, valve springs, and retainers. Plus the quality and customer service from Revolver is freakin awsome. Thanks again Revolver you guys freakin ROCK!!!

I agree with you, I have never liked them but I would like to play around with the idle a little. Because of my head the reported 9 in Hg. by ogvw on his car is only 4-5 in Hg. on my car and that is over 1000 RPM.
I am looking at the ProStreet Gears because they look beefy and have 5 bolts. They were on sale for $120, don't know if it is still available.

if you mean me, yes you are right.
I did not intend to say my idle was "working great", sorry for that inside note. I have an aftermarket emc and enjoy changing load sites. I would guess a stock ecu would fix the load cells but would need a little outside help with the low rpm timing. By all means listen to the other posters about cleaning up the idle.
