if i get type s cams,can i just install them right away or do i need other stuff to go with it?
shims, lifters....?

 

I would like to know also... I will get them sometime in the future

 

You will also need VAFC (eg: Apexi) and lots of tuning work.

 

They drop right in. No tuning required. If you want them let me know i can get them pretty cheap brand new. I work for American Honda in torrance Ca.

 

REALLY? Are you SURE no tuning is required? And what kind of performance increases would one feel?

 

To be technically correct, 1fasttl is right - no tuning is required. The Type-S cam is a direct swap with the TL-P cam. However the gains from just a TL-S cam swap is nothing to get excited about. If you want to maximze the most HP out of the TL-S cam, you need a VAFC.

 

To do.......what? If I got a VAFC and type S cams what kind of gains could be expected?

 

Well if a stock Type-S has about 35 more HP than a TLP...and you know that there is a whole lot more of a difference between the two engines than just the cam...so someone who is interested can probably make an educated guess

 

My speed shop told me that he has done a few TL-S cam & VAFC installs on 98-02 model AV6. With tuning, gains were about 10-15 HP. Not sure if the tuning was street tuning or dyno tuning. For us with TLs, we should see similar gains, perhaps a little more.

 

10-15hp with a v-afc sounds about right..
