NO. Get a Haynes manual and do searches for dspme good instructions to help supplement the manusl. I just did this job in October and though time consuming it was not technically difficult. Just take your time and double check things and work with a friend so you have an extra set of hands and eyes to help out!

RE: Camshafts explained

What would be the recommendation for my 4v? Should i go with a stage 1 or stage 2? It is my DD and I don't drive it hard, just like to have an extra bit for morons at stoplights.

HPmods are currently: cai, pulleys, COPs and plugs, diablosport tuner, hi flow cats, xpipe, lmIIs, 4:10s

neither, if you are just looking for a little extra then cams are not the route to go in my opinion, especially in a 4v. Cams (4) for your car will cost $1200 ALONE, there are much better ways to get a little extra then to fork out that kind of dough.
