what em needed for 272 cams N/A?
i'm getting cams done at delta this week and i am not sure which grind to get. i am leaning toward 272 but i've been told it could throw a cel and F up fuel metering and air readings. could i fix this with a piggyback, if so which one, or what are my other options?
thanks

yes MY99 rs i/h/e - i'm getting the cams done because i need new head gaskets. the guys at my shop suggested going for the 272 grind but now i'm thinking 264 would be better.

Basically, it's a silly waste of money trying to make an NA EJ fast. |

@ arexthunder: Ask a mod to move your thread over to normally aspirated. You won't get much useful comment in here.

Besides, even if those parts were free, you're going to have a loud car with horrible idle that runs 14's. Why? |

arexthunder: If you get the 272s you're gonna see changes in the idle and may get CELs from the excessive overlap. A piggyback is only gonna change the fueling, not the timing. Depending on what the final goal is and what you're willing to put up with, more than a piggyback will be best for you. Jay Storm |

Ask about N/A issues: "go turbo" Ask about piggybacks: "get a standalone" Regardless of what the question is, they all have to be hammered into the standard cookie-cutter WRX-with-mods shape one way or another. My comment to the OP stands. You'll get answers in the N/A forum and mostly heckling from the peanut gallery in here. Storm: I'm on the OT's side, and strictly N/A. What the **** are you barking at me for? |

I spent a TON of money on a NA 4cylider in the past (Which made more power than an NA EJ) and I regret it. It's such a stupid thing to do, especially in a heavy Impreza. But I'm that's my advice. |

If you would've given a reason in the first place I wouldn't have responded toward you directly. The prevailing attitude in this section shouldn't shouldn't be ignored as acceptable.

$5k includes labour.
i think i am going to just get a 264 grind + i-speed reflash, and i think i'll be happy with the power i get from that 'cause my car is fun as hell to drive now. i've got lots of low end torque, no lag, and i don't drag race. thanks for the input guys |
