Cams in these little 2Vs really wake these motors up. Before you by the 2.1 Look around I been seeing bigger KBs going fairly cheap. Look on Modular Powerhouses website.

I learned I need the 2.6, the cheapest one I saw on MPH was, iirc, $5699, on KB's site they list it at $5500. Unless ur thinking of a used 2.6, which I don't want to go that route.

If you don't mind me asking, how much money have you saved up? I have $1,900, but that goes towards painting the car lol.

So basically i'm starting out right now with $0, until my bike sells, then i'll have $3,500. I figure I need about $7k for everything.

I'm at $0 also, the purchase of the KB wont be til mid-late 2010. Right now my plans r to pay off these cams then save up for the stall, trans cooler and tuner. After that will be the bottom end, fuel supply, then the KB.

Yup an they will be a blast driving on the street. Can u imagine 550+ rwhp at 2000 rpm? Too bad we don't live in the same town/state

While I'm thinking of it, do I have to have bigger injectors for those cams or will my stock injectors work fine for now?

vermilion · Dec 25, 2009

s/c youll need larger injectors

vermilion · Dec 25, 2009

with cams and stock everything else 30lbs will suffice nicely.

GaryG · Dec 25, 2009

Will it run on the stock injectors tho when running the cams? I don't really want to buy new injectors now then have to sell them to get bigger injectors when I get the KB

My car runs perfect with stage III cams and stock injectors, but the cams hurt horsepower N/A, I only made 277 with those cams, ported heads, and full bolt ons.

GaryG · Dec 28, 2009

Quick question, when I get the cams, do I have to have the stall in the car when I put the cams in or can I run it without the stall an just put it in neutral at a stop?

bottlefed97 · Dec 28, 2009

I don't have any experience with auto cars, but I would imagine that putting the stall in with/before the cams would be best

I have sad news...

I'm going a different direction than a 2.6KB. I'm going with a ProCharger P1SC. I just can't afford the Kenne brand new and I don't want a used one.

I know a guy who is getting me a brand new P1 kit for dealer cost (he is a dealer and a friend) so I think this is best for now :sad5:
