Cams?

Just wanted to know if the Jim wolf cams are any good, and do they really make that much of a difference.

In order to get the best out of them you need to change your intake manifold to the MEVI or the 00VI. You will lose mid range but gain alot up top.

Most people who go through the trouble to change cams usually make many other changes . New valve springs and retainers, bigger injectors, computer tuning, exhaust, intake, port and polish and gasket match exhaust and intake manifold, some type of forced induction unless you go all motor, and many other mods to take advantage of the cams. Short of a SC or turbo most mods alone don,t make much power, it's the combination of many mods done right is what makes a fast car!!

For an NA motor, stock injectors are fine.
