thanks. i'm thinking of going with a cam though. maybe a tfs stage on. they are cheaper, will give me about the same hp, and give me a nice idle.

i didn't have my mind made up. from what i can gather from this thread, it doesn't matter whether i got a cam or rr. since the cam is cheaper i will get it instead.

yes but remember this with a cam you will need these items... a new timing chain, a new timing cover gasket, a new intake gasket, you might need new lifters, you will need new valve springs

so for a RR install you just need a new springs



so which one is cheaper?????????????????? iknow that ansswer do you
