If you read enough about the comp cams (I did a bunch of research) ppl that did a before and after Dyno gained about 20 hp but LOST about 15 torque... if you're gonna do cams, I would wait till better ones are made 'cause $1000 for a torque loss is crap

Thatsonly with people who do the cams with not changing anything else, cams are NOT worth it if you dont have a good CAI, CMDP´s, Headers and maybe a TB too, more airflow is needed for the cams to work as they should. Also, its needed a higher gear (3.73+) and a 2,500+ stall in automatics. So cams would be like the very last of the mods, along with heads if ever.
