Are VT Stage 1 Cams a waste of money for a 100 shot?

Look at the mods going to be installed in my sig. Are cams a waste of money? Do I need cam gears, bolts, shims or anything else if I get VT stage 1 cams? Would I get more HP our of the cams with nitrous than NA?

You would see a lot more horsepower with nitrous than you would with any cam. With stage1 cams you do not need new valve springs and a tune is recommended. You will probably see about 20hp-25hp out of the stage 1 cam. IMO its all a matter of what you want.

I am doing the nitrous definately. I was just wondering if I should just do the cams now because I want to do all my performace upgrades at once to save on having to keep getting it dyno tuned. I don't want do them later. I am going to get a flip chip so I can switch from the nitrous to NA.

If it was ME i would do all of my stuff and then put the nitrous and cams on at the same time so you can take it and have your car tuned for both.
