holy hell that's a lot of money for a little bit of horses!

yea they are sort of expensive but worth it if you FI or stage 1 for NA powa. I should email MWR to see if those stage 2 "turbo" ones would be good for a SC engine.

yeah cams are a sweet upgrade, then you can tune your car even more BC!!

"Thanks, Bob Barker!" There is a potential of 10-15HP with proper tuning of Ignition timing, A/F Ratio & Cam timing.

Great thread!Do you have a link to how to install the cams?

Not really but here is a PDF of what may be involved in doing it: http://www.radphys.com/ARTICLE...ft%22I would only have a professional install it, if I were to ever have it done.

it's just my opinion sweetcheeks. i guess if you have everything else immaginable first, cams would be nice.

Recent Info on MO has found that the CatCams are regrinds and have destroyed a cylinder head on a Matrix XRS. The Crower, Piper & Ragnorak are original cores. There should be no issues with those.

I am new to the vibe forums, but not new to modding cars. Cams will completely change the cars personality. In order to get the most out of the cams you would need intake header and full cat back exhaust. I had a SE-R with full bolt ons S4 cams 2.5 exhaust with 2.5 down pipe. It had a lightened flywheel JWT clutch you name it it had it. The other think is will these cams through a code ? Now who is going to be first in line to put these bad boys in.
