toying with the idea of getting some cams installed so i wanted to probe you guys for your thoughts...

i dont know anything about them other than that you are expensive and give you more of a lopey exhaust sound so any info you guys can provide will be helpful....

that's pretty much it....

now the only question is which one to
purchase, based on your long term
goals for the car

They also provide a power boost from what I understand. But yes they are expensive especially if you pay for an installation.

I got them for the sound and I picked up an extra 30 rwhp. Here is the sound clip.

Read up on all the issues with idling. Many people have reported the car struggling to find an idle speed and really roughy running at low rpm and daily-driving type starts from a dead stop.

I'd love to have a cam too. But I've been scared away from it based on the number of people having issues. Apparently they're hard to tune.

Eventually, I'm sure I'll get a cam once people figure out how to tune them.

You will be modifying your torque curve. Our stock variable timed cam tries to give us a nice torque curve through both low and high rpm. Peak RWHP is not as important as area under the curve, a lot is going to have to do with what goal you have for the car, like hammeron said. Aggressive cam usually mean less street ability.

Problems with idling? That is rather off-putting. Can't say I've seen to many reports of that but I have read a dyno tune is pretty much a necessity with these things.
