Default Comp Cams XFI/sound?

How loud are the comp cams XFI NSR stage 2 CAMS? I have heard them on you tube, but want a real life opinion of their loudness and sound/lope.

I want to conceal the sound of "power" as much as possible. I have stock mufflers on as well to keep things down.

lol if I could somehow conceal the lope with the stock mufflers/resonators, then maybe.


I don't mind if they sound mean and obviously CAMed with the cut out open and at the track, but I want to surprise people when they think they are running up against a stock GT on the street.

noice! That's exactly why I want to get them, because of the lack of sound but all the gains of normal cams.

What about the SPR stage 1? I don't think they have a large amount of lope and will give you more power than the NSR/VSR. Of course they do need springs.

hmm..I have considered CAMs that require springs, I don't mind doing the extra work- though I'd have to be able to swap them out before IM in 2012, from what I hear, I can have a tune that makes them pass so I might not even have to.

My modding route for spring is-

CAMS
economy delete plates
Steeda underdrive pullies
LCAs


and that's it for this year, next year- I will be FINALLY getting a supercharger.

(-:

When you say more power. how much, in combination with mods given and a tune?

(45whpish??)


Not trying to run a crazy time or anything, I'd be happy with 12.9@107 and fast on the street with more power up top than now. The 4.10s are great off the line, but from a roll, my top end flattens out around 100ish lol. I get rolled on my turbo civics and bolted on RSXs.. no joke!

noice...

(50-55whp gain?)

not saying that I could, but if I got it down to 12.5@114 all motor, I'd be pretty much set...
