there are many stage 2 cams that won't have PTV issues and will show much greater gains NA and on the spray than those stage 1 cams.

That would be awesome, because even if you put down crappy numbers, you'll still get a before and after difference from the cams alone.

Yeah, i think you'll pull those numbers. The duration is pretty high on those cams, which will help with the peak numbers.

Due yourself a favor though, and make sure you degree those suckers in.

Well I would hope your installer would degree them but in case I would ask them what is all involved in installing the cams, then if they don't mention degreeing them just casually bring it up.

With those cam specs you will be happy with the results.
