New to a S240 some questions

I had a 05 Elise, and could definitely feel the difference between the cam changes. I don't feel the cam change at all on the s240. Is it suppose to occur at 4500rpm? Does it feel very much more linear?

I don't really feel it on mine much either. The supercharger smooths it out considerably.
Others may say different, just my own personal experience.

I don't feel it. Just more constant power at all rpms.

You bought Dealman's car, correct? At the price he was asking, he kept the second cam.


Seriously, the cam switchover is much smoother than the '05 n/a (in fact, subsequent MY n/a cars are also smoother than the '05) and depending upon load, the cam change occurs at different rpm's with the S/C cars.

Enjoy the new ride...you got a great car.

I figured that... maybe the power is just a lot smoother... I am going to dyno the car.... I did get a great car, Dealman is sooo meticulous about the car
