Default potential cam setup

1.So its about that time to get my money together and purchase my first set of aftermarket cams. I don't plan on building my bottom end for a while so I want to go all out on my head. It is my first major build so I want to know what I can purchase that would get me the best results.

2.On another note, I seem to be burning a stupid amount of oil and I honestly rarely run my car hard.

3.I have kpro/i/h/e.

4.I also want to know assembly rates around the country. I've tried calling Florida rates but nobody has given me a straight answer.

i charge around 500 but i always replace the tensioner when i do cams to be safe.. so that involves a bit more labor, blueprint stage 2 cams seem to be perty popular right now with some of my customers.

Im a huge fan of the 08 tsx cams. However if your going aftermarket then blueprint/hytech/IPS are great companys.
