whats a fms cam shaft worth?

[bhazard]

Can't blame you at all. This is your living and you aren't gonna make $100k off this crowd. More like -20k

What I know for sure is i'm going to finish every thing to which people have put money down on. After that i don't know , the festiva crowd is harder to please than theViper & Vette guys what i get alot is '' I want the best quality , the best performance at cheapest price , Oh and I want it now too''. This is't Burger King i can't always do your way right away. I took a risk devoting tons of time on this and lost . I have several large jobs that i putt off and lost a 116,000.00 project over it all which forced me to rethink this effort .Matt

I think Festyboy meant no offence by his comment. He was just stating the facts, I dynoed the FMS race cam and made less power than my stage 1. His opinion is valid as has ran both FMS & my cams in his car.I dont have the time to dyno every thing i do for festivas any more because Im booked a year out.My position is my time has been used by many as mearly entertainment, besides i've sold the dynojet as it was starting to have problems.A new portable dyno will arrive soon. Any way if i make a claim its FACT.

your not getting out of the festiva game all together are you? i want/need to buy a cam from you for my b6

[FestYboy]

Jerry, i ment no offence in my OP, i just answered the question as best i could and backed up my answer with what info i have. I can't say i wasn't trashing the FMS cam, but when the product doesn't come with a spec sheet and installed performance is lackluster at best, what are you supposed to say? this wasn't a bash on the seller, just the quality product, which he has nothing to do with.

Personally I feel as though FMS never posted specs or any info on their cams, so you never knew what you were buying, at least with Matt's he provides specs and fully stands behind his product, unlike FMS's awesome reputation

Keith (loknload), and others, I apologize for hijacking this thread. I felt like Festyboys comment were rude and unprofessional. I felt that he should have simply answered that he felt like $80 would be a fair price and not trashed the cam. I still haven't found the missing dyno sheet in any of the DAE build threads. Again I apologize for the thread getting off track.

[FestYboy]

there should be another pic of a dyno run with a torque curve that sits at almost 110 for over 3000 rpm of power band. that's the one we all got excited about. and that's the one that used his stage 1 cam IIRC.

[Team Lightning]

I found this and copied it from his NA build. It's a long way from the 110-120 claim. The turbo build has no dyno sheet. The one on the NA build is cropped.
HP = 71 @ 5200 rpm = 85hp at crank
Torque = 81 @ 3800 rpm = 97ftlbs at crank
(estimate another 10 hp with more tuning, having a lean/rich issue to sort out

And the search function worked for me. I saw all his threads. I was only looking at the ones concerning builds.

[FestYboy]

searching came up with all of his threads, but viewing them is problematic (FF.com is not co-operating).

[Team Lightning]

Funny how when they were ask for no one knew where they were. (I think the comment was they were lost years ago) You mean they were here all the time?
That's strange!!

[FestYboy]

the search function should rectify that cunundrum for you Jerry.
just look for posts by Matt aprox 2 years ago, there you should find the initial N/A build and dynos sheets.

[Team Lightning]

I was just wondering if there was proof since you made such a bold claim. It seems that anytime anyone claims anything on here, everyone says we must have proof or it didn't happen. I just think it should apply here and to Matt's stuff as well. I've never seen any proof of his turbo 266 Hp B3, it seems the dyno sheet was lost or something, or the 110-120hp NA B3. If anyone claims a 12 second Festiva they must have proof. Again, it should apply here also.

[FestYboy]

you'll have to ask matt to post the dyno sheets, i can take pics of the FMS and DAE cams and the spec sheet on the DAE unit (FMS never provided a spec sheet on their cams, EVER)

and this just made 10K posts for me!
WOOT!

[Team Lightning]

So is it available? If like to see proof of your claim.
