MHS's Stage 5 N/A cams are probably the biggest you could get without a custom grind.

You can put whatever you want in there, might not run, but that's another story. What kind of setup are you panning on running?

Off MHS Web site if you are using stock heads valves and springs without PTV clearance their Stage 2. That is what I am running and real happy. Picked up around 30 RWHP and TQ after the dyno tune. It really depends on what your other mods are to support the cam and if you will stay NA of force induction. Talk to Nick he will spend the time to find out what is best for you.

I want cams

I can't see spending all that money though, I'll be pretty close to supercharger when all is said and done.

why biggest? bigger is not what will be better for your car...
you need to decide what power band you want the cam to perform and consider your other mods and goals for the car
then start from there

$599 for the Cams. $650 for the install and dyno tune. ( either route you need the dyno tune so that is a wash). You can't get a supercharger for that. But I already had the suporting mods Headers X pipe and Cat back with C&L intake system

Come on cams are like $600. Any monkey can install the with a basic set of hand tools. Your not getting a suprecharger for $600.
