I know PDM racing, I bought few things from them. Even if they are in Canada, I am still closer to Florida than I am from British Columbia lol!!!

Wait till I done more pulls, I was not full boost when I did my pulls and the cams aren't degreed. Let's close this topic and I will create a new one once I get actual facts/dynos. I still need to set my idle straight also verify my base timing with the timing light.

Peak torque is at ~4000-4200
I have not degreed them yet, I am still gonna dyno them as is and once I get ajustable sprokets will degree them and do some more pulls. I hope I can do this before the end of the season.

They are plug and play. No modifications are required to run them.
They need to be degreed to be optimal.

Are you talking about the upper chain only ? If so, there should be 6 full links between left and right sprocket mark, 6 full link between right sprocket and idler mark and 9 between idler mark and left sprocket mask. With this, crank pulley should be aligned with the 2nd notch, 1st lobe of each cam...

I don't think I will have the time to do dyno pulls today or tomorrow but I should do some on sunday if weather is ok. I just did few km to break them in under 4000rpm. I'll update the thread with before and after dyno on different boost settings.

Cams swap installation, no start

Well after swapping out my stock cams to 264/264 cams, seems like I have trouble starting the car now. I suspect fire/spark but haven't got a change to troubleshoot that much. Probably dist. -Timing if good. Did few turns by hand and the marks I made aligned. no skipped chain/link. -Car cranks but n...

Which seem to be like the oem intake cam. The right cam as a dowel pin that is offset from the first lobe, which seem to be lik...

After talking to Cusco, seems that my coilover model is discontinued and they do not have spare shocks for them. Either I find a place that do rebuild or I throw them to the garbage and get new coilovers.

I bought a set and will review them as soon as I get them on the car. I am curious to see the difference compare to my 232/232.

jholman05, we will probably end up having a similar power band since we have similar setups.
