Bo-port 1.5 cam
Guys, don't know if anyone will recall but I asked several weeks ago why my car might have a miss at high rpm that began at 4250. Several guys said, "valve springs are weak".
So, I ordered some boport replacements and then the 1.5 cam. I've been running the Ranger cam for probably 4 years and I do like it, nice torquey cam retarded 4 degree's, but it stalls out on power after 5k.
The new boport 1.5 cam I installed over the Christmas holidays, Yowsa! I must recommend this cam. I did lose some torque off idle, but the power and torque are way up when you get to 3.5k and beyond. His website claims 40 hp for a typically modded car. I'd rather have torque ratings, but that would probably have discouraged me from buying. I'd say I got every bit of the hp rating, and more torque higher up in the rpm band.
Anywhere the car would spin the tires prior, it does effortlessy now. Made a really impressive jump in performance where I didn't think a cam grind would make that big of a deal. I'd been let down by Esslinger and Racer Walsh previously.
Idle's fine w/ a touch of lope, vacuum drops to 12 from Ranger's 18. No regrets.
