Well if JMM ever got back to me regarding this I would tell you. However they didn't, So I looked elsewhere, and found the RPD/Alted cams. Very very happy with this, and their customer service is incredible.

I'm running the RPD stage 3, I would like to compare specs with the Dev 5

16-03-2006, 07:32 PM

yep you need bigger valvesprings for the dev5 as well.

FPVWEPN · 16-03-2006, 08:01 PM

dev 5 cam is great but you really need headwork and higher diff gears to make the most of it

MADED-6 · 16-03-2006, 08:57 PM

i will be getting headwork in the future but not as of yet and diff gears i probly wont coz i need the fuel economy. anyway thanx for ur help guys and crow cam valve springs would be fine to use yes. anyway thanx.

i just posted somewere else the same thing but i cant remember where...anyway i got the dev5 cam(whole kit) and its sweet.When i hit 3000rpm its seriously like changing gears and the fuel economy is better an idles just fine(not uncomfortable)Dont let the stories put u off...everyone has problems,i did but got over it cus i was told by so many people their stuff was the proven best. Thats what i wanted

Yup that is me

run a best of 14.7@93.36 and bout 14.8 for most of the runs and that was with the 3.45 LSD.

Now lets see what i get with the new setup

ur gonna need some bigger valve springs, and a big stall... Otherwise youll bog down off the mark.

94EDxr6 · 17-03-2006, 12:22 PM

how do these dev5 cams compair to the wade1636 in terms of fuel economy. Obviously they have more power

Both will achieve similar fuel economy if driven nicely. However comparing that Wade cam and a Dev5 is like comparing a switchable Toyota supercharger to a high helix 8/71

94EDxr6 · 17-03-2006, 03:57 PM

would it matter if im running straight gas? I already have the wade and if josh gets a good enough power gain i might consider a dev5 myself

1TUFFUTE · 17-03-2006, 04:04 PM

thats a good question,i never thought howd theyd run on gas.Probably the same just a little down on power,being gas id say!!!

neil101 · 17-03-2006, 04:15 PM

Mate soxs had a dev5 kit in his xh manual and I'm pretty sure he got 14.4 with stuff all tration. I got 14.9 with dev3hl in my ED manual.

MADED-6 · 17-03-2006, 06:09 PM

so all u guys getting 14 out of these cams is that with headwork because wanna get the cam and springs and adjustable gear first then get the head work done down the track abit. and also i am running a manual with xr computer full exhaust and pod. im hoping for 14s if i get that then i will most likely just settle down and buy a jap car for speed. really i just want a quick enough car for now then i want a turbocharged car later on. thanx everyone for there help.

1TUFFUTE · 17-03-2006, 08:01 PM

id say ur probably right on target.With the xr cpu and a dev 5 cam. it may be all right but u might want to check on that,u may need some head work afterall.Sounds like u got a nice ride there mate

i reckon u should aim for a mid to low 14 thats what im aiming for

what time are you aiming for?

1TUFFUTE · 17-03-2006, 10:57 PM

yep hopefully the same but i dont know how it being a ute will affect it
but keeping to the thread, itll all be about the cam

5speedeb · 18-03-2006, 12:02 AM

mate i have a dev5 cam in my car and all i can say that if you chose to go with this cam you will never look back and im sure dev5 ute will agree with me lol

TWiZTiD · 18-03-2006, 12:29 AM

is there a full spec sheet for the dev cams ???

5speedeb · 18-03-2006, 01:21 PM

i dont think jmm give out the specs on their cams
sorry mate

vegabass · 18-03-2006, 01:31 PM

I did a 15 flat with a dev 2 cam, and it was a trusty humid hot night at willowbank QLD. I want to bring my car down south to drop .5 of a sec !

not true..i got better fuel economy but that was with the full kit,sometimes up to 80kms more out of a tank(last week

: )

dont no but maybe cus the cam does most of the work at 3000rpm and up

Yea what the go with mocky? No matter how many emails i send him, i never get a reply! Not trying to start another antie mock page tho :togo:

snortingboost · 18-03-2006, 09:59 PM

How come nobody has mentioned looking at other cams like crow etc, it seems if it's not a devo5 it's nothing. I know of a 3.9 with a very small crow cam in it runing flat fifteens with 3.45 diff and ИИИИe traction off the mark. Consider your options guys as JMM is only a drop in the ocean of camshaft manufacturers. The other thing which has always bothered me is that you can never get any info out of mock, he just snobs you. If you go to any other well know dealer they tell you all you need to know, specs included, who wants a regrind JMM devo5 anyway. I'd much rather spend the money on turbocharging to receive massive effortless torque and still retain close to factory fuel economy with the origional cam and final drive ratio.
