Default Comp Cams

Hey guys
Im most likely picking up a set of comp cams for my d16z6. I currently only have I-H-E.
I was wondering what you opinion on comp cams are and also what kind of numbers I will be gaining.
I have found 2 sets of different comp cams for sale for my engine and im getting the more aggresive cam, for street/strip. They claim a 15-20hp gain in stock form with a higher gain with ihe........lemme know
thx

Um. you will only get 1 cam.

If the cam is too aggressive you will need to get springs and retainers to use the cam.

I would go w/ the street/strip. I heard the street cam isn't even worth bothering over.

If you want to stay N/A.
Cams are where it is at.

Follow that with a Final drive and LSD.
