Are there people running this combination of mods? May I have your impressions, times, opinions? I'm actually wondering if it's worth putting in JWT cams in a low port? -- thanks!

friend of mine has the JWT S3 cams in his low port. Loves them!!! He transferred them over to his DET. Loves them. He was going to change to the "C" cams, but decided not to because he had gotten the DET anyway. I say go for the "S" cams and ECU upgrade. I hope this helps.

good luck finding many peeps who have the AEBS headers. i currently have the 91 cam and HS headers, and after looking @ dyno plots of other low ports w/ JWT cams i can tell you they are worth it. if you can get the ecu, you'll smooth out the idle and help the effeciency of the engine.

I heard AEBS is going to start producing thier headers again but from what I know they have problems with the primaries hitting the ground and the o2 sensor does not work when it rains because it exposed to water. But I want a set if they come back!!!

I had this exact setup until the AEBS headers cracked on me. I am not a fan of their quality. The header does make good power though. I used to have this setup before I upgraded to C1's and was able to net a best time of 14.7@94.5 mph on street tires. My motor is no longer in operation so we are currently doing a det swap. Hope this helps.

was that time before or after the C1's? I have heard the C1's are only for turbo use, did you use them all motor? how well did it work?

IMO, its not worth it until you can get a redline higher than 7100 rpm.

I have the AEBS header and JWT s4's. I like the combination. I the header is just as good IMO as the HS one, but its one problem is ground clearance....I found that out the hard way :(, but i still like the header...I dynoed at carlisle last year( year ago today, actually) and i cant remember what i did with the charts, but i think with s4/PRCAI/AEBS i had something like 139hp at the wheels.

Well, with the PR CAI/AEBS header/ courtesy catback/ Underdrive pulleys my car made 138whp. I have not dynoed my car since I installed the C2 cam package, *** I hope to some time soon. My header is cracked just like Dougs and a Hotshot will soon replace it, hopefully the new stainless version.

The C series cams is only good for allmotor and nitrous. Is too big for turbo car.

I have heard that C1 cams make 5 horsepower and 5 torque all around. not peak horsepower. I was talking to dougnosser about those cams, nothing but good shit about the cams.

I am probley going C1 cams soon too.
