A Question For Mr2 God Hyde! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

hey was wondering what size cams would be suitable for an everyday driving car and what are the benefits of upgrading cams?

... assuming you are talking about the turbo MR2 ...

I am using the HKS cams: 272 intake and 264 exhaust.
You could use 264s on both sides though.

I find the idle fine and the power is wonderful.
A car with higher duration cams has a lumpier idle which some might not like.
I rather like it as it sounds rather mean

Benefits of upgrading cams is more in and out of the engine which means more power.
Automobile engines are air pumps ... the more air in and out the more power you will get if you have enough fuel to make it go bang.

Is he refering to you or the car as a "GOD" LOL

See, all that money you spent this season has been worth it. Your followers now think you are a god. Now you just need to learn some magic trics.

I was trying to ignore that ... doesn't exactly make me feel comfortable.

I'm just a regular guy with a job, going to school and playing with my MR2 like a lot of you.
The only difference is that I've just been doing it a lot longer than most and
have spent a lot more than most ... and I am willing to risk my car racing.
