[QUOTE="DMarts10, post: 2213, member: 302"] You may want to do some serious research on cams before considering one. Cams put a lot more stress on the valve train. In essence they can push your valves further open, increase ramp rates etc. I am no expert just a hobbyist, but from my understanding, the increased ramp rates are capable of breaking your stock springs. This puts you are risk of dropping a valve into a cylinder and boom. Also typically after market cams will give you more mid and top end power. So, it would be silly to cam your motor and not take full advantage of your new powerband, by not redlining higher. Hope this was a little helpful. [/QUOTE]
