Thread: Intense Stage 3 Cam and S3 heads as a Daily Driver?

when you mention TEP, are you talking about Triple edge performance transmission?

sorry thats the only TEP acroynm i know of..

and 17-19 in town is perfect.

Race cam.

YouTube - Big Cam GTP Idle & Rev

.574/.566 @ 114 LSA

Makes your IS3 look like a baby at...

.541/.554 @ 115 LSA

Running a used cam in a engine you are planning on driving/racing and keeping is like screwing a hot chick with a STD. You know you want to hit it, but your afraid of the consequences. lol

I'd never buy and install a used cam. But that's just me.

When I bought all my stuff for my engine build from Intense, they gave me a package deal on everything. But because I bought the cam and heads together, (along with various other parts) they hooked me up. Don't ask, I am not at liberty to discuss that. At the time, Stage 3 was the biggest cam on the market.

I'm still happy with my choice of parts to this day. Its been a very powerful, successful engine with only a few minor problems. (usual stuff from a modified engine)

i ment the MPG since my entire fuel system is basicly new lol. and my buddy's shop is pretty damn good at tuning

i doubt you get above 15-16 in the city even with an awesome tune.

Stop and go traffic...with the idle set so low...10-12.

Good luck.
