264s from HKS are a probably your best bet
what exactly do they add?? and were could i get them at?

also not just for me im sure others on this sight wanna kno.. what exactly do cams do and add to ur hp and motor?
on their own they wont do very much, you need to be able to tune them into your setup

where to find? simple....search yahoo..."3sgte HKS cams" but things like www.horsepowerfreaks.com www.atsracing.net ect... they are ALL OVER maybe even ebay

join MR2oc and read this for better understanding and to get an idea what you are looking at

this is part of the discussion with graphs don't JUST look at this read the thread too

BTW look at what the test car is for this biggrin.gif

cams control your valves...when they open and close...how much they open...
on their own you won't see the benefit that they can provide but when you are able to tune the motor with the cams + the other mods you will see some benefit...

well ive heard cams do alot for the car if the rite ones are chosen for ur application. Its just something i was going to look into before i desided if i wanted to get them or not. Thats why i am asking questions and what people recomend doing just so i can have my barings straight. Im sure i am also not the only one curious so im looking for suggestions and what not.
