Are you F' n serious. Whats your basis for that? I know him and alot of his work. I don't bad mouth venders but I'm telling you, save your money.

This guy wants to sell stuff. Here is some news for you. I don't want any PM's so don't bother but, His $6k intake kit is being made for well under $2k. I just talked to him 3 weeks ago and now you can only get one if you buy a motor from him. In the same conversation his said his prices increased to $700 for his cams. I could care less if you buy from whoever. I'm just saying there are alot of good tuners. If you want 50hp, turn up your boost and cool it down with a bigger IC.

Obviously I am serious. Whats the basis? Well, he is a tuner with a shop and he sells high quality products. He has sold custom cams to people like TonyG who has had great success with them.

There are not a lot of good cam developers... JME is the best. Far better than a Web off the shelf mismatch

What ever. Ask Tony about his head work, It was so good he brought it to a local shop and they cleaned it up and got it to flow better.

As far as his cams, they are good but not 50hp good maybe more like 25hp. I know one person that bought/ tested 6 JME cams, he knows..

dumb pole, you ask then argue. see ya

Whatever your not so hidden agendas are with JME, keep them between you and him and stop wasting bandwidth on my thread in this technical forum. Thanks for your cooperation :biggest wave goodbye:

No hidden agendas, just trying to tell you not to believe everything you hear, Even if it from JME. If he wanted to help people out and not make money he'd be on this forum helping. I have bought some stuff from him but I'm telling you he's not the greatest.
I am being technical. His claims aren't all good. Got a dyno chart? I could get some but I'd rather not trash him. I just don't want to get your hopes up and rather see you spend your money on something more worth while.Sorry just trying to help you..

No, you are just trying to run him down. Not help. Please stop posting on this thread so can keep it on topic and not about bashing JME. Thanks.

Probably good advice, but the USD is in the toilet right now! Into perspective, 2 years ago circa, the SFR stage 3 turbo (at USD1499 I know its cheaper now) would cost you around NZD4,500, today that would be NZD1998. I am buying a house in a month, I should really save the cash and hope the exchange rate stays good.

NZ951,

The best mod would be none of these above. Instead I suggest you loosen up the nut behind the steering wheel

Also learn to play cricket there's a good chance you'll be picked to play for the NZ test team
