i was looking at your stage 1 cams, and it says it bolts straight up with no need of cam wheels, ecu modifications, or valve springs. Why wouldnt you need better valve springs because it is a higher lift than stock cams? Would it give it a little more power if i put better valve springs and cam wheels in it. If i decide to go n/a i plan on getting an SAFC for the headers and wouldnt that help get out more horsepower from the cams. What do you think would be the approximate horsepower increase from a stage 1, maybe 10whp.<br><br>Post edited by: ridemlow03, at: 2006/06/26 13:20
We've found in the past that the stock Eclipse ECU attempts to compensate for small modifications added to the 6G72 which means that what you would normally get as a HP increase in most cars is not realized near as much in the V6 Eclipse. This is why many Eclipse owners have chosen to go Turbo. Once it's all said and done, spending equal amounts of money to stay NA vs FI, the forced induction motor will produce MUCH more HP to the wheels. As far as the SAFC goes, it does seem to help lean out a very rich air to fuel ratio in this motor. This mod is definitely worth the money and useful in either the NA or FI application.
