Welcome and good deal on the purchase

Please feel free to ask questions. Just remember that the info you recieve is mainly just opinion , with not a whole lot based on actual fact or based on experience.

So tread lightly and possibly seek advice from an experienced person with first hand actual data to back up their theory

My suggestion is go check this out https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...orth-cams.html

And I would also suggest to contact the fine gentleman who created that thread and talk to him even thru PM. You will reach your goals

I truly hope your not serious

They are usually made out of rubber if stock, Usually polyUreathane if aftermarket. Usually harder makes car stiffer and made out of a perdy color. Also can help with engagement if used on particular areas of the vehicle , ie shifter

Everybody on here already knows that I am a BR bandwagon nutswinger so here go's

Forget about that ets junk , they do not use Garrett cores for their IC's . Garrett;s are tops in my books and prove to be so.

The GT35R by ets is yet an unproven setup. I wouldnt jump on that too quick. With what I had seen so far the blouch bolto on D2 is working real well and will get you to your goals with ease on pump.

Kelford cams seem to be quality like the cosworths just havnt seen anything on them yet for the X

ACT in my opinion F that. save your dough and do a Exedy twin right off the bat you will thank yourself later trust me!!

My suggestion is get with Dave Buschur on your build you will end up with what you want and do it once not a couple times finding out some stuff just dont work. He does all the R&D for you and you get to reep the benefits of his work and dedication

Also My opinion about meth F that as well , when you have E85 aroung the burgh. E85 trounces pump and meth IMO.

Just run the largest injector that your tuner hopefully BR would be willing to tune on
