Candied Cams

[Runnah]

Oh let me get this out right away. I have no intention of doing this any time in the near future! This is just a feeler question!!!

Ok I found these on Rallitek.com

http://www.rallitek.com/products.asp?ID=601&PP=Y&HB=&ACC=&SP=

I heard about these from LDR on my last post.

The questions:

It says its an "easy" install but that seems to be a lie to me. How hard are we talking about? Open heart surgery or a endroscopic surgery and a few stiches?

What are the benifits to this?

Would it even be worth it for a DD and an average rally-x'er?

Anything else you can add would be helpful.

Thanks

(anyone who laughs at my incredibly witty title, gets five karma points!)

$70 per regrind, you send in your cams, $140 later you have either a 260 or 272 degree cam (stage 2 and 3).

I think the difficulty rating is EASY because you just fork out extra $$ to have someone do it. Cams are about the only thing left for me to do to teh Forester... but since it's beyond my DIY ability, I doubt I will.

Cams are an easy thing to do on a SOHC subie. Especially the ones with a roller rocker set-up such as mine and yours. The car would be down for the better part of an afternoon. (less than 6 hours, easy)

I've done the cams in mine, and Delta Cam is the way to go, IMHO

so seth--

are the new cams actually better, or just dirrerent. for rally/rallyX you want fat low and midrange, which is exactly what stock cams are good at. most aftermarket camsgo for higher-end gains and there's usually some tradeoff of low end, not the best for gravel fun IMHO. we have kept stockers on the LDR cars to race with for just that reason

Well, I'll let this pic speak for itself. ;D

Taken this past fall at F1 Dyno. Only other mods on the car are lightweight pulleys, and a mild port an polish
