    Cam Upgrades

    I was wondering what would be a better cam upgrade.

    Buying the corksport cam set

    or

    doing the exhaust intake cam?

      Well before you do any of those ideas you need Adjustable Cam Gears. After that the exhintake cam gives you 9whp. So with the CS cams you're probably looking at a serious 13-15whp gain if not more, depends on the tune.

                        isnt it true that if u advance the timing somthing like 18 degrees you get a pretty good hp gain?
