You may be disapointed on ur peak gains, but remember, we don't race dyno's, we roll on em

naw, you'll gain more since you are a manual, you'll put more power to the ground, I'm just saying, I thought the cam would have giving me more peak hp/torque, and it just didn't happen. here is my dyno sheet. red is before, blue is after

are cams a good mod when you already have supporting mods, or by themselves?

i hate being color blind, i cant see a diff. I assume the one that has the steady climb is with the cams.

yes. the line that is pretty solid is with cams. The line that jumps around a lot is w/out cams.

Darkcrime, are the 268's stage 1s? Would you do cams over again if you had the change? Are you overall happy with your purchase?
