Okay here it is! the first review of Suprfly's 212 duration and 340 lift cams for the swift gt. This has been long overdue but i thought that this would help some of you out there debating on whether to go ahead with a set of these or any others. First off i would like to say that Mike is an awesome guy to deal with. he is a straight shooter and is very knowledgeabe about cams. I was the first to buy these cams off him and so i was a little aprehensive myself. the cams were immaculate when i picked them up, an excellent job. i had no problems installing them and they dropped right in without any other modifications, thats what i love best about them. well not really, what i love best about them is that they perform great!!! i love these cams! as soon as you hit 4000 rpm, the car jumps and pulls very strong up to 8000. feels like there is some more but i have not tried and probably won't with stock internals and over 215,000 kms on the clock. the bottom end does not feel any worse than with the stock cams but i most likely have lost a bit because of the increase in duration. I have posted a video in the "race" forum a while ago called "highway blast", if your interested to see my car in action. keep in mind third and fourth gear were slightly uphill so the car was not pulling as strong. now for track tested feedback. i brought the car to the track after the cams and i only managed to tie my personal best when i had the stock cams. Hold on, before you say anything. first off my 60' foot times were over .2 seconds slower than before. i could not get a good launch, i bogged 2 times and just squealed tires another time, then on my last run i managed to get a good launch, but missed third. anyways, with a good launch the cams are good for, at the very least a .3 second increase in the quarter mile. How does it idle? The idle is lumpy but smooth, i have increased the idle very slightly to about 900-950 rpm. i absolutely love the way it idles, sounds like a 60's muscle car. My car has a chip and used to run rich, now with the cams the fuel mixture is much better, spark plugs have perfect colour on them now. As for fuel economy i have lost a little. I still get about 450 kms on a full tank. anything else anyone wants to know about these cams fell free to pm me anytime. Lastly, as for some car to car comparison for your pleasure i have kept up right alongside my cousin's Taurus SHO in a drag race and i smoked a new SIR hatch on the highway the other night, i was behind him and i was able to get right around him and get at least 5-6 car lengths on him until i shut it down i was going way too fast!!! over 200 kph. He did have one other person in the car...okay that was a little too long but hey Mike deserves a little recognition for those cams! pm for anything else.

tonight i had a go on the highway with a swift that has done 15.3 in the quater mile. we were side by side the whole time going from 100 to about 210 km/h. just thought i would add to my original review.

Boy I bet he was one of those people who thought he was all that. Bet he figured he was the of the road in his little snot rocket. LOVE IT when a know it all gets served up for dinner. NICE WORK Swifty...you truly are the and made that little your .

LOL! he has one mean swift. he's got a very strategic setup in that thing whereas i have an all out setup. whats next for the both of us??? till next time...

Although my vert hasn't seen the road yet, I concur with swifty92's comments. I bought the same grind for my project, and the first thing I have to remark is Mike's communication throughout the entire dealing. I know he's busy with real life, but he came through answering every question I had. I outlined my mods thus far (60mm tb/underdrive pulley/toms chip/bigger exhaust/55mm maf; future considerations for megasquirt), and Mike advised me towards the 212 grind. Once the deal was put into motion, he kept me up to date with the progress.

As mentioned, cams looked beautiful. My cores went the greatest by any means, but he worked his voodoo on it. Packaging was top notch, couldn't have asked for better.

As for install, it went without any drama. Easier than shitting down a well in fact. Roars to life, idles along a little bit more huskier than normal but sounds great.

Will post another update when I hit the open road. ETA 1-2 months? Dunno, I may have scored the perpetual car project...

Got the cams, finally installed them today with Black_stripped_Gt(steve) and damn, nothing but amazing things to say about them
sounds like a mini street rod when idling
great deal, great cam, a++++ and +

Finally got my cams installed today. It's amazing how fast the rpm goes from idle to exactly 8k rpm.
My cams are advanced +4 and +2 and I have Sandros chip.
It idles rough but very steady at 1000rpm.
Car pulls very strong to 8k rpm. 2 thumbs WAY up.

Thanks Mike!

Today my gf and I threw her recently purchased 210/340 3tech cams in her GTi (srd header, u/d pulley, K&N filter). It was a bit of a painful job, but that's because I'm used to having a lot of room under the hood of my own 1.0 . Took about an hour and a half, fired right up and the expected lumpy idle made me grin instantly . Throttle response is much better, intake and exhaust are both much louder than before and it revs like crazy We didn't get to test it properly due to lots of traffic and a non existent 2nd gear, but the few times I floored it in 1st and 3rd, it pulled HARD and the sound coming with it is just simply awesome. Worth every penny!
