crower stage 2 cams, idle is fine, however if you let off the gas suddenly after pushin hard, the car will die. (at least mine did), i simply upped my idle to 1000mph to fix that until my fuel management stuff comes.

right now? heh heh, one stock, one aftermaket (long story)
I'd suggest erroring on the more agressive side, crower stage 2 or crane #16s, nothing less will be worth the cost or effort.

The man speaks truth. I have Crower 2s with no adjustability (ie; stock gears, ignition, fuel) and she runs just fine. I DO, however, have the AFX ECU which is programmed for cams, so I hear that's why I get away with it. You want the Crower 2s. You want the Crower 2s. You want the Crower 2s.

I wish I could idle at 1000mph. :shrug Any #'s after the DP/portfueler?

If you really think having an AIC will fix that problem you need to start thinking over again because you obviously don't understand WHY it's doing that.
And back on topic. Since Crower 2s are so popular now I'm happy to say I was the 2nd person sporting those bad boys after the original grinds were made (stupid Mike had the 1st pair :P).

If you want to get picky, I gave Crower the samples which our cams were based off of.
I completely agree with Thura, the AIC is not going to fix any idle issues at all, at idle the extra injectors are doing nothing.

OOH! OOH! Tell me I was third! Can I be third! LOL! Love my lumpy ass idle. Having your mirrors vibrate to the beat of your stereo is cool, but having them shake to the lope of your idle is awesome. It's almost like you can actually see the powa! }(

Which work better with the HRC kits. Crower or Crane? And how much horsepower will u gain from them?

I'm gonna skip 2's and go straight to 3's. Why you may ask, WHY THE HELL NOT?!

Be careful. Make sure your valvetrain is completely upgraded - PT lifters and rockers along with better valve springs and retainers are a must.

You will get more horsepower from the cams than from all your decals and wing combined. Use the search and do a little reading up on cams here. It's not just the cam, it's how the cam works with the rest of your mods and what you will need to spool whatever turbo you end up with. No one can tell you how much hp they'll make.
EDIT: Mike - Damn! EDIT: 95_ESi - Fuckin a bro. Just be sure she can handle it. hardware and fuel trims. Don't forget that. :P
