    performance Cams

    I was wondering if there was a thread or info on the performance cams you can buy from the vendors. Or what kind of gains would i notice when upgrading to one of those? Seems to me like most people just use stock ones most the time

    Re: performance Cams

    Thanks,

    The reason most people don't run cams is because without port work or ported manifolds, free flowing exhaust or modified intakes etc, they don't work. Our engines have more corks to fix first, then put a cam in.

    Because it's a mild upgrade that doesn't screw up your tune and is often obtainable for free.

    And by mild upgrade, I would say almost imperceptable vs an OE turbo roller cam.
