KL-01 cams come in the A-spec KLDE and KL03 engines and they are more for torque. The KLZE cams are more for upper RPM horsepower.
It's not a question of "not as good" but "what do you want to do with your car?"

No He's talking about the KLFE which is the hottest running cams out there stock.

hes asking if the KL-DE cams would work good in the KF-ZE, i would think not because everything i have been told is that the KF-ZE cams are the most aggresive stock cams

That's what I've heard also.

<<CORRECTION>>> (damn typos)
This is true, the KF-ZE cams are the most aggresive of any K series engine. Ive been to,ld you could get a few HP gains in a KLZE, over its stock cams as well.

Bumping cause of typos that could have caused confusion.

ive read it posted a few times on this board but personally i wouldnt post anything yet that hasnt been tested or confirmed on a dyno.

although the integra type-r b18c r/5 made more power than the b16b in the civic type-r everyone claimed the b16b was a more aggressivly tuned engine because of its 1.75 rod ratio. well this was until they found out that that both engines used the same cams. the reason that the b16b made more hp/L was because it had higher compression. anyway im not saying kfze cams are most aggressive is bs but i dont think this has ever been tried so dont hold him or anyone elses claims as facts.

and KLFE? the most aggressive kl hahahahahahaahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah
thanks for the laugh

[Steeb]

im sorry about the post above not even being about the us cams in jspec motor. anyway i dont think the jdm kl01 cams are the same as the us kl01 cams because the newer us kl's had improved better low end torque while ze's are more high end hp, even with jdm kl01 cams.

I'd trust vaughns technical statements over anyone elses.

I don't trust everything vaughn sez. I agree with steeb, until I see a dyno plot of a KL31 VS a KFZE cam, I'm not convinced this info is "true".

SINNER!!

Vaughn is an MX-3 god, & thow shalt bow before him.

He knows his crap about almost every other technical thing ever made. He was one of the Pioneers of MX-3's. Without his connections & high visability, I am sure the market for our cars would be nowhere near what it is today.

Vaughn was tuning cars when you (most of us)were in diapers.

I agree with Barry.

What Vaughn says, goes.

Thats Final.

Forgive us Vaughn...

We're not WORTHY!
We're not WORTHY!

Seriously, reading Vaughn's stuff was what convinced me to make a buy on an MX-3 in the first place.

If GAWD Almighty himself layed some specs on me, and Vaughn looked em over and said

"weeeellll Jim... GAWD means well but I'm not sure I completely agree with his data," I would absolutely have to back Vaughn... and be damned!

[papa roached]

everything i have read leads me to have to side with Vaughn too
