350z cams- need help

http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...de=13020-RNZ35
Maybe you experts out there can help me out. I wanna buy these cams but I want to make sure I know a bit more than I do right now before I go for it.
I posted a thread in all-motor but I need to ask you guys as well. What do you think?

I won't crack the engine open until all the bolt-ons are in plus an ECU or a piggyback.

350z ECU are NOT fully compatible with our cars, especially AT.

What do you expect to gain from just cams and Cipher, for about $2k plus install?

I was told by JWT that the best for my 04 auto are the S2's. Im trying to see if the Nismos will work ,if not then forget it.

I suggest getting some headers first, then tune the car and see where your at. If you still want cams after that then go for it.

JWT will always inflate the advantages of THEIR cams. The knockoffs from
www.stores.ebay.com/delubozparts seem to work. 16+ WHP.

I added notes to your other thread.

I picked Autoenginuity over CIPHER because the generic OBDII portion will work on any car, and you can add the expansion for most make.

I would also send it to Technosquare to get the ECU optimized.
