In an earlier post you said the car felt slower with the cams as compared to having the headers. Are you saying that the car now feels faster? How is the car running now that the ECU has had a chance to adapt?

My car feels faster than ever because I put headers back on the car.

Well Erick
It turns out that Kleeman did not need an initial AFR, so we didn't run on the dyno. They have a base map for my mods that should be pretty close. I should have the ECU back tomorrow. I'll hit the dyno and then have Kleeman do another tweak.

Update: 3rd Dyno
I have my last Dyno run before the cams go in scheduled for Thursday. I have had 2 other appointments since I got the car back and the numbers keep rising. The car now gets 18.5 - 19 MPG, which is up from 10 MPG.
All I care about at this point is the A/F ratio. First Dyno run was in the 10's, second run (different dyno) was in the low 11's. I was getting about 16 - 17 MPG that day.

Well, as a teaser, yes, the cams provided nice gains in hp and torque across the entire band. All that I will say for now is that it was more than 10whp and 10wtq. I am having issues with part throttle tuning and I'm still working that out. I'll provide more data when I have it.

Some of us can't wait for the results... 
Jerry, any updates on your car yet?

New Cams have Arrived
OK, I got both new sets of cams sitting in my office. They just arrived and I'm working on getting them installed.
If anyone is thinking about jumping on these, now is the time. I know there are a few people that were thinking about it.
Pics are attached.

Ok, I got the new Kleeman software in my car and it solved my part throttle issues. The car ROCKS now.
Last time I was on the dyno I gained 14-16whp across the board and over 10wftlbs across the board. That was with ZERO ECU adaptation time and the measurements were taken on a Dyno Dynamics dyno. I don't have the dyno sheets yet. Remember, this was for cams only on a S2 car. I did not port my heads.
I'm going to let the ECU adapt for a while, then hit the dyno again.
