n e 1 running a 288/288 cam?

[325dude]

is anyone here running a 325 with a 288/288 on the road i know there are big power gains but how lumpy is the drive??????????.............j

Lumpy as hell, will rock the car side to side.

Youll need a custom remap otherwise it will run like sh*t.

You might gain some power but it will lose you huge amounts of bottom end torque and the car will feel alot les powerful unless you keep it revved hard.

Unless your doing track days or planning to use individual throttle bodies then no good.

Your better off spenfing the money to make the most of what you have. Tune the hell out of the 2.5 as it is then go for these sort of upgrades.

Think stand alone management or MAF conversion. Your 2.5 with this will be a faster and much more driveable car than your car with 288 cam which is not running at its optimum in terms of fuelling.

mine was 288 but like m pilot says lumpy as hell on tick over no bottom end at all and a remap is a must or it dont drive properly..
fuel pressure needs slight rasing as well or at high end reves you will go lean and loose power.. you also need to sort out the crank pulley as they tend to shatter when taken above 7k revs when ur up there all the time..

how do you sort the crank pulley?
do you have to get a fluid damper type one!

I found mine at bmc in america ordered online plus new castle nut looks very simular to oirganal cast just different metal. i will have a look for the order form, gives good info. it is only just lighter than o/e but can be waited. not a fluid one,
