This is why I probably will stick with N/A, FI costs increase quickly especially if you engine goes "pop"

ya i hear you. i also wanted to make sure the cams wouldnt affect the brakes. looks like it wont though

I gained 60 rwhp with installation of LTs, x-pipe with high flow cats and cams. Love the sound.

$900 is one thing but the kicker is the install. How much for installation?

nsr cams arent hard to install, most shops will do it for 400-500 dollars. if he is changing the springs out too then the install cost pretty much doubles.

OK I know nothing about cams - what would be a good cam to get? I am partial to FRPP parts. Last time I looked, they had just one I think. I see Brenspeed sells a few different kinds. So what's good for a street car (don't drag or road race)?
