I've got a high compression big valve motor that we mothballed due to some rule changes, I'm tempted to get a set of the stage 3 cams and throw them in just to see what happens.

Specs and dyno...please

The dyno was unimpressive, we had a bunch of issues with the car at that point and decided to move over to something a little more reliable and tested for the 13 hour race.

Softening it has made it drive better for me.

Once I put in an after market throttle controller, the initial throttle opening was fixed, The stock mapping for the throttle is horrible!

I wonder if their higher stages offer a boosted profile vs NA profile...

You still slow for ficus sake!

Been looking at these Piper cams for a while now, but just want to see if they are really worth anything.

Well, buy these and you will finally have a faster (ish) car. Post results afterwards.

Might explain why I gave them my CC 4 weeks ago and have not charged it or contacted me with shipping info

My buddy has a set in hand, so they did at least make a run of them. He's had them for about a month now for his upcoming build

dallenj · 03-09-2016, 12:33 PM

It looked like they made a good power difference. They probably didn't have anyone buy them.

Tim Radley · 03-10-2016, 03:31 AM

They are making some changes to the core design at the moment and the blanks are due very soon. No point advertising when its out of stock.
