i doubt it.

i'm sure he can. he might have to get custom cams ground though.

just remember to go with your cams you will need an adjustable ECU and probably new springs and retainers. for a d16y8 engine (i assume) your best bang for buck for power is probably to go turbo, look in teh FI thread and do a search for more info.

Dude like I said on the other post............ get a S/C it is what you are really after given your complaints about driving in traffic and such.

u can get cams tho they will make power higher in the rpm, so if thats what uyr after, get them

I just got some camshafts - they should add some power alone - but then Ill chuck some adjustable cam gears into it and then I hope we see some serious gains with my other mods and vafc tune :D

I hope I got all of that right above - Ive had a few...well heaps :P.....and pretty much talking dreams than reality, so if I got the shit right, then w00t.....thats a good sign.....:)

Use a Crower cam...
Rocket have them in stock...
If you can't get a hold of one, contact your local rocket dealer & they'll get one in for you...
Works well...

Crower???
If you're on a tight budget, sure, they work well, just not great...
But the valve springs are a bit dodgy (to say the least...)
Honestly...
On a tight budget, you're better off with at least Skunk2 parts...
(see Dyno Dave)
If you've got more to spend, use TODA.

Disclaimer:
Obviously I reccomend Toda parts over the various others... ;)
For what it's worth, most aftermarket engine hard parts parts work to point... Some better than others...
9 times out of 10, you do get what you pay for.
Always put them together as best you can, combination is everything, & tuning is the key.
