I'm not sure by what you mean to small for a stroker, my 3.0ltr has 250 x 9.15 poncams with GT-RS twin turbos and with 28psi made 623hp at all for

As for relief for cam lobes, it really should be done to suit cam which would mean you red to get cam and then see what needs removing

Sweet! thanks for that!

Surely you could use any cam to figure out how much you need to relieve the head by measuring the current clearance and factoring in higher lift....

I thought the same thing but couldn't be arsed posting it. See how close the stock cam gets to the edge of the lifter bore (feeler gauge), add extra lift to stock lift from cam catalogue and subtract existing clearance = material to be removed from lifter bore edge.

Maybe the easy way to do it is to drill and tap a hole into the lobe of a scrap cam, and use a cap screw put into that thread as a proxy for a real cam lobe peak. You can wind the screw in and out to set the lift of any available or conceivable cam lobe.

You could use a stock scrap cam and measure the extra hieght just make sure you go a bit wider incase the new cam lobe is wider then stock, knowing the base circle would also help, I personally would rather use the new cam to get it spot on so you know you have taken enough without taking to much, but yeah there is always more then one way to skin a cat

do you mean we shouldn't buy tomei cams because of bad quality controls on their lifter or because they might not have them in stock ?

what spec are your camshaft?

I wasn't aware of UE before this thread, their website is under construction and on their facebook page , all recents post are about american big build. so it must be the reason why not everyone knows about these cams.

However, I had a facebook conversation with them and all they offered me was some tomei or mine's camshaft, nothing custom here.

and when I asked them about the complete kit, as per piggaz 's recommandation. they never replied to my message. Either I don't have the right shop, they dont make custom camshaft anymore or they think I'm not a serious buyer..

you will have to be patient with UE giving you a response, they are not good at answering emails, call them

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
