I would still like to se some dyno results for the Tri-flow cams that you have for the 2.4 I have not seen any concrete numbers saying how much there worth. All we have is what G5mike posted on a dyno with no stock numbers to compare. Now I have even tried calling your shop asking about them and got no answer and wasted about 30 mins. I have nearly every bolt on and part out for the 2.4 and have gained about 40hp and 30 TQ and am always looking for the next part, but with nothing but hear say and more then a few people that have had problems with there cars after installing JBP cams (this is including the LSJ guys) I would be larry to get something with out documented proof of its worth.

Just my .02

REDFOCZ.....

you are a man of intelligence. Never assume anything about performance until it's proven.

My .02 also.

I would love too, but lack of funds are holding be back on any performance parts being bought for the car till I can get some bills paid down. Just a few quick questions about the cams would I have to have any headwork done such as new valve springs and retainers because of the increased lobe and duration? Also you have them listed as tri flow exactly what is that?

New valve springs are recommended and require the spring pockets to be oversized. Our JBP springs are good replacements if you are going to sit at around 7500RPM redline.

Triflow is a technique where the intake camshaft lobes are offset slightly. The offset is such that, one lobe opens before the other on one cylinder. This promotes swirl within the cylinder for additional power gains. We've have seen gains throughout the powerband on our LSJ and L61 cams, not just top-end.
