how much did that JDM Fabtech Intake Manifold cost you?
It retails for $1200 it is probably worth $1400 with the quality of the welds and the amount of work done
I'm going to switch the stage 2 cam take it back up to jeff to see what the car will do. Without the intake manifold it should hit around 140hp to 149hp with it, it should be even higher. I would like to get number's just to support the Intake mani.

I hope you do get better numbers with the stage 2's. With all the work and money you spent, those numbers are pretty darn low. You're getting even less at the wheels.
All the work and money you spent is just not justified with those really low numbers.
good luck with the stage 2s. looking forward to seeing higher numbers soon

Yeah man thanks sorry I couldn't really help you out on that block but as you can see I am going to need it in the future.lol and if your back up in the area again hit me up.
Its all good bro! I'm probably gonna sell my parts and go another route. But thats later on down the road! Thanks for trying to help me out in the first place. I'll hit you up the next time I come up!
Whats your basis for thinking that its just too much?
Yeah its the last stage for our cars on the crower line, but really... if you have the right tune then it'll be smooth like the stock cam just idleing a little higher, but when you get on it, you'll have more power. I dont think thats too much for our cars- I think there isnt enough power in our cars to begin with, thats why we tune them.
I think the stage 3 is a little big for the car it does run nice and smooth and it idles at 900 rpm and I think it would be a great cam to start with if down the line you decided to up the compression.
I really do like this cam with the drive-ablity. it has a big fat nice smooth power band were the stage 2 on my car was just straight up viscous. Mind you I was running a shitty map but I think gerry's intake manifold just made it a lot more powerful and in turn made it feel as tough as it did. I will say this about the stage 2 cam depending on were I set the vtec point; when I hit vtec it usually was pretty hard, harder than my 99 prelude that has real vtec not eco vtec. It was actually painful on some accounts.
So when I get a chance I will drop the stage 2 cam in to see how it does and what it feels like. I think it will break 150 but will see.
my whole reasoning is that you start to mess with the powerband and after a point the car makes all of its power above 5k rpms. you still need to strike a balance for daily driving. building NA is totally different than building for turbo. you cant just carve out huge head ports, run a 3 inch exhaust, etc. the engine just wont work right.

Yes And this is why it is so tricky to squeeze the most out of a car that is N/A but luckily I have a lot of power down low in the bottom the powerband so it is actually a really easy car to drive on the street. I am also not surprised that I have taken a step backwards in my power. But it actually helps me a lot cause it answers a lot of questions that nobody else could help me out with about how the engine breathes. So it'll get there it just going to take some time.
What's up bomer, how's that home depot garden edging front lip workin out for ya? Heh, Nice numbers by the way.
