[QUOTE="na svt, post: 12183152, member: 35346"] your engine needs four camshafts You spent another $500 on parts that weren't needed because your mechanic has no experience with these engines. Now you ahve to pay the extra labor to install them. "Lope" is caused by overlap, the period in which both the intake and exhaust valves are open. 2V engines require a longer overlap period because they have a low intake valve diameter/bore volume ratio, 4Vs do not suffer from this problem and therefore long overlap periods hurt power. The lopey idles sounds cool but it comes at a costs. You could go with longer duration cams like the 106400s or you could have your mechanic install the 106100s at a tighter LSA (for more overlap), but since he has no experieience with these engines i would not recommend that option.
