Only in the VIII so far, havent tested them in a IX. Its next on the list though to see what gains there might be. Obvviously they work as I am sure you are aware

Like I said in the other thread, the spool with the fp5r and the red in the lower gears feels like stock. It is a little slower, but close enough. Basically I would not worry about the loss of power down low with the fp5r cams. Of course I have no dyno data...

I hate this haha. You hear so many things from different people it makes for a hard decision. I'm leaning this way thus far:

1. Since I already have the M2's just get the M3 (280 degree / 11.6mm Lift) intake cam and keep the M2 (272 degree / 11.0mm Lift) exhaust cam.

2. Swap out my M2's for a set of JUN 272's. They don't have as much lift but I hear the cam profile and ramp rates, etc.. makes them so good.

3. FP4R's (FP5R's maybe but probably not).
