This has been discussed. Use Search before someone smacks you silly.

Anyhoo, the JWT custom billet cams will be available in 4 to 6 weeks on the dot. I called my friend there, he told me that they have been saying that like forever, but for damned sure the cams are going to be done by that time.

What's nice about these cams is that they are NOT regrinds, these are custom forged billet. Fun stuff, eh? Can't wait to get them in with my turbo.

Crap, on a NA car you should see 10-15 hp in gains, it's not worth your time unless you are building an all motor Maxima. Spend your money on a MEVI (Middle East Variable Intake). Use the Search function or email Mr. Cranman directly.

These forged billet cams are really good for t/c or s/c cars.

did JWT say there are extra gains on turbocharged or supercharged cars?
turbo cams run a different profile then an NA cam.

mr cranmann sells the mevi. you are from the middle east, and say that's already on your car, so you don't want to talk to him. search for "jwt"

I was about to ask the same question.

I thought a N/A car and a FI'd cams would be different.

It's almost about double. You should see 25-30 hp increase on t/c or s/c cars. I'm still skeptical on the 30hp, seems a bit much for cams, even with a boosted car.

But hey, if that's JWT's tagline, I'm in.

that was excatly my point

NA cams are different from turbo cams so im wondering if JWT claimed those gains or is it someone's best guess? ive seen 30hp from a good turbo cam on a turbo motor, thats not hard to belive. I do think its hard to belive a cam made for an NA application would give that much to a turbo motor.
