Default camshaft;driveshaft

I was told the next thing i could possible do after all the bolt ons is upgrade the camshaft and driveshaft. Are these good upgrades, and if so, what does upgrading these do specifically, does this hurt gas mileage, and are these expensive, burdensome to install?

Camshafts will add power and can be a pain to install or cost alot to have them installed.

The driveshaft upgrade is supposed to free up hp but nothing you will feel. Untill you have a built high reving engine aluminum flywheel and driveshaft is really just a waste.

I'm not insinuating anything but your post makes it sound like you think a camshaft and driveshaft are similar.

"The camshaft and driveshaft."

You have more than one cam. They're inside your heads. They control the opening and closing of your valves. The driveshaft connects your transmissoin to your rear end.


Yea, I realize this may be a useless post but his post just sounded a bit off to me.
