should ask RPW what else you'd need with the cams to get more power, besides 4 expensive adjustable cam gears... it'll cost over 5k i reckon to use the extra cam power and the other parts u need...

I agree... would need extensive mods to make a difference...

Just shoot an email to david... tell him what you want to do...

I recently handed him a cheque for the better part of $10k.... and all on internals on a 6a12... he knows his stuff...

Camshafts are usually the last thing you would do to an engine. Do all external items first like extractors, exhaust, intake manifold and throttle body upgrade, cold air intake and then piggy back computer with retuning.

If it is a manuel then a mildly improved camshaft grind naturally aspirated would work nicely. If its an auto I would not recomend it because you can run into issues of idle stability and I think this would just destroy a good car to start with. With the small 2.0 motor you have to be careful t not overcam the engine

Dude do you have extractors you should definitly get them for a cheap KW gain :D
