Hi Oliver hope all is well? The Iceberg is looking cool as a cucumber
I will be the first person to have these cams fitted alongside the RS2 manifold, I was going to wait for Tom to produce "the calibration" but in this world if you want something done it's best to do it yourself !
Its a risk due to the amount of money and time but it will give everyone and idea what to expect. :approve:
UPDATE
Since now i have been holding back showing the final results of my rolling road session after fitting the RS2 manifold, for some strange reason my car has only produced 181.5 bhp (Fly) and 146 lbs torque (Fly) with 150 bhp at the wheels :S.
Previously i have carried out dyno runs after pretty much every modification at my local dyno dynamics rollers as shown below.

I must say being an honest folk that I found the whole JMS experience a bit of a roller-coaster ride with plenty of its ups and downs, i was disappointed with the results as i feel the acclaimed figures were slightly exaggerated as I was getting 10 bhp less than acclaimed. 10 bhp on a N/A engine is a hell of a lot of power to loose and the torque figures were less than a 3lbs than standard. As for the kit i looks the part and is well engineered and the time , money and effort has been well spent. Hats off to James and Tom top blokes and stayed late to get my car back on the road
Setting that aside i have decided to get in contact with David @ K-Tec regarding their new Cat Cam profile 5502438, provisionally i have booked the cams to be fitted including cam belt and mapping on Friday 12th August. David is intrigued to find out how the cams perform with the RS2 manifold as he thinks the torque figures are affected due to the runner lengths of the manifold, but I have a feeling that the cams will produce more torque and bhp from what i have at the moment. These cams will produce in the region of 185 Bhp and 165 Lbs Torque on the standard cast aluminium manifold.
I'll keep you lot posted on any results and any future updates
Yes mate, all is going well. Thanks!
They're made by cat cams still, aren't they? Do you know how they differ from the 428 profile; I'm assuming they're not going to be too aggressive or lumpy?
I'm just waiting to hear back regarding the calibration work; then I can either proceed with getting the 428's in, or have the car mapped as it is.
Did the mapping make quite a noticeable difference to the feel/performance of the RS2, before and after mapping? Mine feels really good, even unmapped actually; although I've absolutely no idea how much power it's producing.

Thanks Matthew, I think the spoiler will look the bee's knees. I'm also getting the trophy suspension fitted on Friday, so once the spoiler is fitted it will be a full fat trophyWill look awesome fitted mate, proper choice mod this
and then a week on Friday getting the cams fitted at K-tec
thanks dude
i should have it on by the weekend.
have you got your car mapped yet?
I'm looking forward to seeing the results you get, hoping it shows that cams work well alongside the manifold. Interested to see how they with the runner length of the RS2.
Out of interest, did your car feel noticeably quicker when you had the RS2 fitted than standard? As, even unmapped, mine feels much improved over standard.
