What are the best camshafts for adding the most horsepower how much would the new camshafts with a pp head add horsepower wise?

well u can get crane drag cams for the most power. ur idle will be pretty bad, u probably wont pass emissions, and might loose some low end. if u buy cams alone, they will not do that much as with suporting mods. u can get some nice power if upgrade to a header, hi flow cat, full catback (not too big), cai intake with a bigger tb (not too big - but that one is debated too much).

cams alone will help but they aren't worth it if your not going to upgrade most of the air path through ur car. cams and a p and p would net a somewhat nice high end improvement.

I already have those other mods you just listed.What are the best cams to get that wont make my car idle like crap?

I dont know why everyone is against cams without port/polishing, our head flows pretty darn good as it is.

Im plannin on crane 14's or 16's you can still get a good idle with some safc tuning and the gains are worth it. Cams are going to be the best mods for our cars, especially when all other bolt ons have been done.

get some 14's or 16's and youll be plenty happy

crower stage 2's going in mine...been told they were awesome. Stage 3's required an atermarket ecu and lots of other stuff tho.

So!
Which are better? Crower or Crane? And are the Stage 2's comparable with either the 14's or the 16's??

Curious as I can see cams in my future...

i can only speak for the crower 2's cuz i have em, im pretty happy with the power im gettin from them. idle is pretty lumpy but the car wont stall. i have a video clip of my idle... pm me if u wanna hear it.

Crane #14's, the turbo grind, idle like stock, at least on matt_95tgs's car...i was surprised..

If you're concerned about idle, the Crower stage 2 cams do lump at idle, as reported above. I'd guess the corwer stage 1 cams will idle fine, as will crane #10s, #14s, probably #12s (not sure about the 12s, they have a far more agressive exhaust than the #14s).

I'd guess the #16s would lump at idle, as they are very agressive for a street car.

I recall reading a post by someone a few weeks back that recorded a video of his car's idle after installing cams... he stuck the camera right in front of his greddy exhaust... coolest sound ever! :thumbsup
but, yeah, assuming the engine can idle on crower 2's, I'd pick those as well.

Michael97RS needs to post a sound clip of his car's idle..hehe yeah now that was sweeett! :thumbsup
