I don't think you're gonna get the sound you want with a blower cam, the really lobey sound comes more from a NA cam.

Sounds like you need to do some research on cams before doing any purchasing.

Blower cams are not choppy like na but if you are going FI in the future then go with CMS stage 3 blower cams. I went with 2.5s but wish I had gone for 3s. However, if you car is your daily driver, I would opt for CMS 2.5s.

I'm not quite sure but I don't think the Stage 2.5 blower cams will fit without a modified intake valve or notched pistons.

No. I did not have MMR notch my pistons and no PTV clearance issues.

Don't buy na cams if going FI. Sound you are after then definitely go with CMS stage 3 blower cams. Listen to them on you tube you will like the sound.

If you go with NA cams on an FI setup your going to be loosing power. Most stage 3 blower cams have a noticeable idle to them, but you're probably going to need your pistons notched.
