Just a quickie.

 

I got the stage 3 grind on my ea82t and it is an asymmetrical grind. Is the stage 2 street grind symmetrical or asymmetrical? If you don't know what I'm talking about, the cam lobe has a steeper incline on on the opening ramp and a gentle decline on the closing ramp.

 

Who is running the stage 3 and what is it like?

i don't know what stage mine is in my XT6, but it is an aggressive grind that was not recommended for just street use. idled poorly and vaccuum loss affected braking significantly. i'm sure there's ways to alleviate that, i just don't know what they are! i'm probably replacing them with a not so aggressive set. they did pull well on the top end...and i mean way up high, but never dyno'ed the things. low end sucked pretty good, that's the thing i liked the least.

 

but this is an NA XT6 so probably doesn't much matter to you.

 

motor (i put in earlier this year) locked up after hitting some firewood on the freeway so i'm not driving it at the moment. got the heads back from the machine shop last week for another motor to go in it.
