Re: powermax 2032 cam

I have one in my GTA, here is a video of it (very crappy quality). I dont think that it really lopes too much because it is a pretty mild cam. I like it, the low end torque is unreal ! Click Here

Re: powermax 2032 cam

It does seem to be idling high. My wife was in the car because I wanted her to rev it up to hear the exhaust, maybe she had her foot resting on the gas pedal That run was only a 14:00, my intake manifold gasket was leaking pretty bad and sucking air. I think that mustang even had drag radials on. I thought it was going to be a good race, but that thing was s l o w .

It sounds different than stock to me, but if you have an un-trained ear I guess that you might think that it's stock. That's fine with me. I have a very good exhaust that tones it down too.

Bottom line is that it would barely chirp the tires from a stop before, and now it will flat out roast them, not to metion rev well to 5,500 and pull hard all the way up.

Smog legal in California too.

I can be rolling at almost 20 mph and stomp it and the tires just start roasting. I am replacing that leaking intake gasket now, so I can get some decent times to post. I will take another video when the car is back together.
