Cam upgrade in a VG30E

Suppose I have here a GXE which has a CAI, ported and polished heads, UDP, WSP Y-pipe, VE30DE injectors. What type of camshaft profile would I most benefit from? What kind of WHP can I expect?

Also, are there any exhaust headers worth buying for the VG30E?
Also a link for a set of UDPs would be great. I had little luck looking for a set.

If you are running ve30de injectors what are you using to control fuel? Schneider makes regrinds. Keep in mind if go with cam to agressive will have to up grade valve train, set of cam gears and dial them in. Along withh new tune. http://schneidercams.com/300zxv-6.aspx

Oh well just note that these mods are coming soon and I just wanted to list injectors that are well known. Would I need a new ECU if I switch my sohc injectors to the dohc ones?

I installed Nissan Motorsport Isky cams #1 (.425"/256*) torque cam/midrange......but i built mine for torque and not just high rpm horsepower.....I don't have adjustable cam pulleys, nor is it necessary to use JWT cam springs Oem are good to 7000 rpm my redline of my JWT ecu....I did see some Cattman VG headers for sale in the classifieds, I personally used Pacesetter and modified the ypipe since it was really full of weak points....the main exhaust leak was between the ypipe merge itself....I spoke to Pacesetters tech rep Joe Lee and special ordered my headers with the ceramic coating on the Headers manifolds only and fabricated/removed the 3rd ball/socket joint, install an 8" flexsection and installed the O2 sensor and wideband bungs! It fit like a glove!!!!!! I have an OEM sized 6061T crank pulley (ASP performance) any other questions....I'm open for discussion!

I have a question concerning my broken cruise control. I press the button located next to the sideview mirror controller and the green button alights, but the instrument panel light doesn't activate and the buttons have no effect. What could be the problem with my CC?

Also, my driver's side wiper motor is broken, how do I fix this?

I'll try getting a new instrument cluster because I heard that it would work. Will SE gauges work for my gxe?

SE clusters will interchange with GXE clusters, the only thing is that if you install a VE 240km/h gauge on a 200km/h GXE and try to go faster than 200km/h the speedo wont move further, IIRC you need to grab a VE's speed sensor but for as often as you would be going that fast yes its straight swap

Thanks chrome91. Is it possible to change only the faces or should I just change the whole thing?
