    r5 cam results?

    Summer is over. I'm curious to hear any impressions of the r5 cam. I thought but now people would have been sharing their results. If anyone replies please include brief description of engine build. Another question,,,, what cam are the general fastest cars using? I know the f4 is a great cam. Im trying to decide on a cam for a built 2.5 in a sc. Menegon 287 big valve head, 3076r, bmf, tu header, 5 speed, ect. Thanks in advance.

    Sounds like similar components to MeanMini's current build.
    I've needed to put together some impressions, but i think that cam, TU R5 is a key contributor to her current success.
    Has decent idle, pulls 17" Hg, has logged good hwy mpg (would need to see details in other thread but think it was 22-24 mpg hwy?), has great throttle response, really comes alive at about 4000 rpm.

    I don't have any dyno results, and don't know when i could get on one.
    All in all, i'm very satisfied with the results so far. The exhaust also sounds much different than the stock cam. Even using the same muffler. There is a video of Mini running when i first got her back from rebuild if you are interested in hearing. Youtube: SlugmobileMeanMini

    Nice. I did watch several videos. Looks and sounds good. I purchased the r5. Hopefully I'll be able to start the car within a week or two. Just gotta finnish some wiring. Good luck with the slugmobile.
