Well, I haven't been doing much lately but I decided to get a few things done off of my check list these past few weeks. I finally got my HKS Cam Gear installed. CarbonIS helped me with the install of a custom oil catch can. We like to call it the Shin Motorsports Husky Custom Oil Catch Can lol.
I was thinking of getting the HKS cam gear since I already have their dampeners, exhaust, drop in filter, and grounding kit . How much did you get it for, and where at if you don't mind me asking?

i got it for a steal on another forum in the classifieds. all i can say is under $100.

My friends supra throws out about half a quart of oil after a few hard runs down the track lol. Then again he's pushing like 30psi thru that motor.
yeah, my friend did this on his IS300, he is also NA. it fills up about every oil change or so. yeah i'm not boosted yet, but when i am i'm getting the greddy oil catch can. your friend's supra sounds sick!
Did you notice any difference with the cam gear...?
looking at the cam gear, its still set at 0 degree, so no advance or retarding has been done yet, so probably no performance gain, but its a good step towards a stronger engine setup.
cam gear definately looks cool and functional but the Home Depot water trap as a "catchcan"???? is it April 1st already ?
it is functional. we have tested it on my friend's is300 for the past 5 months. no jokes here.

yes, you are right and thank you. i will adjust accordingly when i get my setup planned out.

The cam gear was tested on an IS300. The cam gear makes an average of 6rwhp/tq across the whole rpm range. It it made 6.5 rwhp @6100 rpm and 9.5 rwtq @ 5000 rpm at and up to 10 rwhp and 8 rwtq at the stock 6440 rpm redline.
I see the modding bug has landed in Georgia and is not leaving for awhile? Wher did you get that piping for the radiator hose?
i was sponsored by Spectre, it is a universal tube cut to fit.
