Can't run another year down on power... And no way we are taking a crack at custom cams again.
Jun cams on the way. I sure hope they work. Now do I put them in the old ported head, or start from scratch.

^ Finally, someone who will be able to tell us how the JUN cams do in real life.
I don't care which head, as long as we have some measure of the difference they make.

What a pisser... It has been nearly a week since payment was sent to Jun, no response. No confirmation of payment, other than from Amex, and no shipping info.
Is this really how the JDM guys do business?

I had the same trouble just trying to ask questions. Never could extract a meaningful dyno from them. I'm sure they'll just show up without notice.

They were really good with answering questions before I placed the order, ask a question and by the next day I had a response, but nothing now. They claimed six day shipping, so far I am six days without shipping info.

Hey Jason, contact Chris Rado at World Racing, he's a Scion Factory driver and has lots of great contacts from JDM to USDM. One of his main supporters is Brian Crower of BC Cams, they make all his custom pieces for his Scions. His site is; http://www.world-racing.com/ , and he is one really great guy to work with.

Buying something like the Jun cams, that supposedly has the R&D behind it, is a less costly investment than starting from scratch. If it works. It took some poking, but I now have a tracking number. Fingers crossed it all turns out well.

Good luck Jason, this is one reason I left SCCA for NASA, the rules restrictions were getting to be too much! It only took me about 23 years of beating my head against the wall to figure it out and I was just running IT.

NASA, forget about it. It would triple my build cost. Screwing around with all the possible points options, no thanks. Worst of all, lack of competition and tiny fields. Which class was it that had a single car at the Nasa Nationals, PTF or something? *edit, the single car class was PTF in 2010, this year they had three cars. Sorry, but three cars at the biggest event of the year is just sad.

Spent a couple hours in Torrance, and now we have a spare head to prep for the new cams. This one only has 1200 miles on it.

Any chance you could take a rubbing of the intake face for some measurements? I'm still not having much luck reverse-engineering the mounting hole dimensions for the outer two bolt holes using only pictures. Lens distortion is a real bastard when trying to project geometry, and the gasket--well, you know. =/

The local SCCA regions are loosing IT cars annually, with ITB-ITC almost completely depleated. I raced IT from 1986 to 2000 and was never allowed to relocated my battery, put in NASCAR door bars or install Lexan window. Hell the first few years I couldn't even remove the passenger seat. I like the NASA rule set better, cause I can choose the mods I want and be as stock or modified as I want. With all the free mods availible, I will most likely only move up one class from base classing, so my '87 Celica GTS which is based as PTF will fit nicely in PTE and be extremely competitive. One thing our guys like about PT here, is they can run TT, PT, or SM and lots are running TT, PT, or Honda Challenge. The Corvette guys really like it cause they can run TT, PT, and ST2 all in the same weekend if they like. racerb PS: I used to be a NASA hater, till I made the switch, now every weekend is a joy not a struggle with politics!!
