If you are looking for performance camshafts please read this posting.
Once again, in the nice real world of performance parts there is the typical vendor who tries to sells an item with amazing results when in fact you are just replacing stock for stock.
www.shaneracing.com known SR Motorsports sell performance camshafts for the Mazda Miata 96-97 promising HP gains from this mod. I bought the "performnance cams" and the first thing I did was measured the lobe (lift and duration) vs. my spare Escort GT camshafts OEM.
[It happens to be long time ago I bought a cylinder head to practice porting and polishing and after that kept the camshafts.]
Shaneracing cams (allegedly Mazdaspeed) and GT, LX cams are THE SAME. I called the company asking them how much lift they are suppose to have and the company said the cams have 1/10,000 of an inch more lift. Are you[ kidding me? That’s less than one fifth of a millimeter. BS BS!!!!
EXCUSE LIST:
I talked with Greg and Scott from SR Motorsports and asked for the specs sheet and came out with the excuse that the instructions are in Japanese and are thrown away cause nobody understands them.
I told them cams are suppose to have code numbers to distinguish them so nobody swaps them and have it as a trademark logo. Our cams don’t have anything cause the Japanese manufacturer is not the same as other companies. But check this out, the same spot where the GT, LX and Sephia cams have the engraving, the cams they sell are grinded off and mutilated at that same spot…mmhhh????
Hey, I went to Mazda and say they have never heard off Mazda Miata 1997 performance Mazdaspeed cams. AHHHhh, our cams are Jspec Mazdaspeed from a privileged distributor in Japan that Mazda USA does not know….mmmhHHH??!
So, be warned, the performance camshafts sold by SR Motorsports (website name is www.shaneracing.com) are just brand new stock cams!!!!!!!!!
He (Greg) gave me a full refund right away (less the shipping charges) within a week.
:bsmeter:
*I have proof that what is said above is true. If you are looking for cams, try Bullfrog or Corksport. I would say Todaracing, but are way overpriced and need to swap from hydraulic to solid lifters. Good Luck
