being pinked is a punishment i got for going off on some people on a thread for trying to insult my intelligence. but i wont get into that.

ya i have an s14 blacktop. JWT makes one of the best cams from what i hear, but for my motor, i have VTC, which gives the SR better low end/midrange power then the s13 SRs. When you use aftermarket cams, most companies dont allow you to keep the VTC so you can only use the Toda cams or another company that allows you to keep VTC, otherwise you gotta use cam gears on both the exhaust and intake side in which will get rid of the VTC. you can choose to get rid of the VTC which will help when you are pushing over 350-400 hp or so.

So basically on the VTC motors, if you wanna keep VTC since it feels so good and the power band is smooth all the way up, you can only use the cam sprocket on the exhaust side, and thats why i dont advance or retard the intake cam, and only the exhaust cam. make sense? sorry for rambling.
