Cam advancing - Turbo Updates



Advancing the cam tooth will give you more useful torque (boost) about 800rpm
sooner than you see it with the stock setting....  I have run Vericom on the
qship and found that the loss in HP is made up by the gain in torque.....
 The TURBOS are in a few test mule RS2's and one Mod k26 (stage III). the RS2
(I have a stage VIII, of which there are only 3 and they are gone, and a
stage III or V with EH, which looks like the highest we will offer, is in my
wife's car.....).....  Once I get some feedback on the Mules, the toys will
become available.....  

Here's the scoop to date:

The RS2's will REQUIRE that you get the IA stage I or II mod, otherwise you
will notice less not more performance.....  The k26 mods make the most
sense.....  They will be offered in 5 stages of tune from mild to wild, and
even the stage III in a stock computer car will give some good performance,
and pricewise is the most reasonable.....  I am working on the final prices,
and am exploring the CARB exemption status of the mods.....  I have two extra
turbos as cores, so I should be able to schedule almost no downtime for
exchanges.....  Shipping overnite in my special turbo crates (Igloo coolers)
runs about $40.00.....   So those of you who want min downtime should be
about the same as a Ned box........

The longevity seems to be good, but I'll advise all of you that the mods,
even in the stage I form make the turbos spin faster than stock.....  All
upgrades include a standard turbo rebuild to make sure all components are up
to HP status.....  I will have more info very soon, and will post directly to
the first group in my database, then to any others interested......  I will
only offer status updates to the net, any specifics, in deference to
"selling" on the net will be only in direct PDQSHIP@aol.com e-mail form.
 Timing looks to be about 2 weeks for the details of sale.....
