Re: anyone tried this cam?

if their throttle body isnt even compatible with our cars, i have serious doubts about the cam. the parts are more like universal fit to me. kinda like an autozone part you find in the rice section.

Very interesting!

I'd love to see someone try it, an alternative to brian crower would be sweet.

this is interesting..
It's a d16 part number, if it's a straight up d16 cam it will not work in our heads. It might be that someone out there is assuming that the d17 is like the d15 and d16, and the parts are interchangeable. Alternatively, blox might just be using identical specifications for their d16 cam on a d17 cam..

Someone needs to email blox to get more info, me thinks..
