There are alot of really inexpensive cams on the market lately that are very very similiar to some popular brands now. You might wanna look into those and save several hundred dollars.

AN-R.com can help you.

 

try stage 2's........http://www.wicked-industries.com

 

Rocket motorsport cams are the shizz

I would get the M22's but the waiting time is long but worth the wait i guess

 

Yes, they do outperform them by a bit. They have a higher lift and are better for higher rpms. However, you need to upgrade your valvetrain to take advantage of them and yes having good supporting mods will help your gains.

If you want to make it simple and stay oem then slap some CTR cams or 00-01 ITR cams on there and you'll see some great midrange and top end gains. There a lot cheaper and you won't have to upgrade your valvetrain if you really don't want to spend the extra cash. If you do upgrade then that'll help a bit if you got some other mods to help build up some more power. Cam gears always help tuning out the cams at the dyno (shifting your power band, etc).
