That thread doesn't tell you much about that particular camshaft. 224 degrees, 3xx lift, what's the lobe center, overlap, etc?

I wonder if Crane, Crower, Lunati, and the like have any listings for Yotas. Personally, I rather do a custom grind to with ported heads/intake instead of your standard run of the mill camshaft.

I want to build up the engine first before adding a power adder. You see, you can't see ported heads, bigger valves, ported intake, cam (you could hear it though depending on the specs) and pistons.

Personally I would S/C it before going the other route. It would probably be cheaper. You would still have your warranty too
You can always do that other stuff if you aren't satisfied with S/C

yeaaa...NOT!!..lol...:simmadown: You wont understand what I mean unless you've driven a built NA motor compared to a Stock Motor that is SC'ed... Ive driven Fully built NA Hondas and Turboed Hondas and even SCed LS/Vtec Hondas....there is nothing like feeling the power of a NA vehicle... I used to own a 240Z wit a Skyline Engine ( rb26dett + rb25 tranny) the car was amazingly fast..but it still had no comparison to driving a NA RB engine.. the torque was insane...sorry for rambling...but if basic engine parts begin to come out for the 1GR I will definitely be all over them.:rocker:

i think fox 2.5 up front with UCAs and fox 2.0 on the back and a TRD big brake kit are enough .. dont u think?

I was kind of looking for something done and tested before doing it myself but lil check them out.

i have a friend who had a supercharged z06 get it installed there and very clean install so ide trust them with my car if i cant find anythin tested...

but again i dont like the idea of being a test mule!
