Default Ron Jeremy (FM15) Cam Installed (video)

Just finished up my cam install last night. I haven't had a chance to tune it yet and it's been suprisingly very easy to drive on the stock tune. I have to be careful with the gas to keep the car alive coming up to stoplights and such but other than that it idles great for a stock tune. The cam for the most part drives like stock. I'll update tonight after I get it tuned.

Here's a vid of it idling on the stock tune.

I'll have it dyno tuned sometime this spring most likely. A buddy of mine is getting a set of custom heads/cam installed saturday and we're planning on dyno tuning together.

Just got the car tuned and it is AMAZING. I'm still in disbelief at how much power the car gained with this cam. The best part is that now that it's tuned the car really drives exactly like stock. No stalling or bucking, it just goes. I still have enough down low power to pass people in 6th gear like I did with the stock cam. Once you get this thing over 4k it freaking pulls and pulls all the way to redline. I'm shifting it at 6800 rpms (7000 rpm redline) right now and it feels like it could just keep on going if I would let it. I couldn't be happier with my car right now.

Huge thanks to Alex for all the help.

Sounds nice. I wish I could have went with something a little bigger but I'm happy with what I got. F10 from Futral.

You owe me a drive Dave, since I let you use my garage for the install.
