101067, GI: Crower 2 cams (AZ) Posted by DR1665, Dec-04-06 06:38 PM
I'm likely going to be getting rid of my cams after the first of the year. Anyone interested in a set of Crower 2s for $350 shipped? Anyone looking to be in the market come Jan/Feb? Drop me a PM. We'll talk.
Thanks.

This is always the way it goes, man. You never have the money when you find the deal and vice versa. That's partly why I'm posting this now.
I'm de-tuning Daisy after the first of the year to ensure reliability while I get started building the rally car. The head is coming off in favor of some stock cams and a very mildly ported stock head. I can replace the Crowers fairly quickly, but the head will stay in a box on the shelf for a while in case I just can't bear to be mostly stock again. (Although it might be for sale come spring for somewhere in the $1500 range if anyone is interested.) ;)
Shit. I've even got my 17"s for sale locally right now. Times, they are a changin'. :shrug

Brian, are these an N/A cam or good for some 15-18psi ?
EDIT: also do you need to upgrade any of the VT?

They are NA and will not work in air cooled German applications. ;) From what I gather, they are okay in boosted apps, although running high amounts of boost might require dialing out some of the overlap. Crower 3s, on the other hand, are not a good idea for boosted cars at all. By the time you dial out enough overlap, you've negated any benefits to having the cams, imo.

Damn you, I thought they'd work. ;)
I'm being tight lipped on some things nowadays. Wait and see :)

Free bump but are you sure you want to? Hit me up on PM. Gotta talk about delaying this so we can get you to 14's. Just had a thought if you are interested.

My cars fairly stock, i have i/h/e and a gutted cat and maybe a few other little performance goodies, if i purchase these will this be ok for what im running or will i need something else? Also what kind of performance gain would i expect?

You'll need new valve springs. OEM can't provide enough seat pressure, or support the amount of lift of these.
You'll get a good gain with a header & free-flowing exhaust, and they work well with head work. Get a bored TB to go with them. They're only as good as the supporting mods.

I gotta disagree here Cougar. I got 7400 on the engine now with crower 2's and stock springs. Used them specifically to show that upgraded springs are unnecessary.
