JWT cams for VQ35

JWT cams for VQ35
I have the car parked for the winter and already have headers and new plugs to install and I've been considering a cam swap for quite a while now. I've been searching everywhere to find some opinions on the JWT cams in an auto with no luck. I figured if I was going to go that far I may as well install the JWT valve springs and do some work on the IM and heads as well. I'm not sure if all this time and $ is worth the gains, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry to say I drive an 02 Altima SE auto but I didn't know where else to turn.
Thanks
Thanks

Okay, here is what you do:

3. Read all the wonderfully obvious answers.

Oh, and by the way, they will give pretty much the same gains on an auto or manual. There may be only a 1whp difference. Autos still suck, though.

I bet his auto would put a hurtin on your 5-speed.
and to really feel the effects of the cams in your auto you would also probably want to purchase a high stall torque converter and a nice transmission cooler.

You don't need to throw your money away on a cam swap. For over $1700USD in parts and installation the minmal gains arent worth it. And if you were to get cams anyway I would suggest using the Nismo R tune or the Tomei 264s. JWT is a SORRY company to deal with and they should no longer be financially supported by Nissan enthusuiasts.
