Default Free cam!

I just got an e303 cam for free, my friend had it layin around... Think its really worth it to install it in a lightly modded 86? It might compliment the intake more and i plan on getting heads so a cam is definetly in my future but since i have this one already im curious as to whether or not i should stick with it.

well if you have the stock 86 flat top pistons with no valve reliefs, checking for ptv will be a must and you may run into an issue, furthermore a cam swap requires a spring swap on heads
