not talking about lying or anything.. but did you upgrade the head w/ different cams, take out the rev limiter or something??
The sacrifice I make with my Nova is that it doesn't handle very well off of the drag strip. Oh well though. It looks like you are putting together a very complete package. Makes the Mazda folks proud when they see build threads like this.

no modification to shims? i call BS. maybe they have the same base circle as stock... but that doesn't mean you're not going to have to adjust lash...
seems pretty late in the build to be changing cams, why the change of heart?
man.. i cant wait to see your numbers when this is done!!
integral cams will def help out, just have to get the right ones
Thanks man me too. but this Spending thing have to damn stop. you never finish and i'm about to say enough, if theres better this of what i have i'll have to say **** it. i don't really know if the integral cams will make any better of what i have, i want to have a fast car but not a damn Racing car that cannot be driven normal in the streets. i'm stating to really think me and this build is getting out of control
twiggys are a great cam.... better than the integrals, but for your build they may not be enough. idk.
if thats your goal, I say twiggys if you can get your hands on a set. solid gains, and doesn't sacrifice drivability. the integrals I'd imagine would be a little too lumpy to have a clean idle.
To achieve what you initially set out to achieve I think that you will have to make some sacrifice in driveability. That kind of power comes at a price. On my Nova I had a similar experience. It's an 8-second car that I intended to drive on the street sometimes. I decided late in the build to just go for it and threw daily driveability out the window by getting a really aggressive cam.
It did affect how the car drives. I no longer made enough vacuum to use the power brakes or use an automatic transmission. So I added a vacuum booster and canister. I also raised the idle to 1600 revs (it was 1250). In the end, I am very happy with my decision. I would have felt that I was compromising the goal I set out to achieve if I had not gone with the aggressive cam. To make the big power, you're going to make some sacrifices. It's worth it though.
I think even if you went with really aggressive cams that you would still be street driveable. It just wouldn't feel like a stock MSP anymore.
