CAMS Options

[to0l42o]

I've heard that upgrading the camshaft of the 5sfe is a tradeoff in less low end torque and idling problems. Has anyone upgraded their camshafts in their 5sfe? If so, .. details?fact?faults? thanks in advance..

most guys here stay away from cams #1, cause there expensive, around 600$ for the set.
#2, its a bit of work to get them in.
#3 there are only a couple places that actually make them for the 5s.
that said,
there is a 20-30whp gain to be had on the 5s with cams alone.
it was one of the mr2oc guys that got like a 30whp gain with a set cams, on the older gen motor.
i would tend to think there would be a little less of a gain on our motors, but still a big gain compared to most other mods that are easily available to us, other than turboing or nitrous.
im hoping to get a set at some point before the end of the year.
