im pretty ignorant when it comes to cams, and i found a set finally and im wondering if it would be worth the money. they are going for 700 and here are the specs

....................Adv. Dur.....Dur. @ .50...Lift
Crower stage 2: 264/256.....218/214....,.385"/.363"
Stock cams:.....248/240.....212/200....,.385"/.355"

any info on these specs would be appreciated, crower website does not even have estimated gains, and will this cause a large amount of a lobe?

Sounds like they are designed to be bolt on application w/o changing lifters/springs. Might add 10-15hp if your lucky. I don't know how responsive your motor is with n/a mods.

very small difference from stock. like cory said u won't have to change anything in the head, should just work fine with ur current setup... but for 700 bucks, you could def. spend that money elsewhere and get better gains. U probably wont see more than +10hp

Tthen you will end up wanting more and be like FUCK I just spend all this money on n/a mods and I'm tapped out. Keep in mind your car isn't exactly honda hatch light. Just food for thought

supercharger for the tc is about $3500 and only get 190-210 hp. read a lot of reviews on them from s/c tc owners. the ones who have them love them but i guess they havent experience what a $3500 turbo can do. at 8 lbs of boost the 2az has been dynoed at over 260hp safely on stock internals and thats just bolted on no mods and no tune. and ive read a lot of the turbonetics owners bump it up to 12-14psi on stock internals with numbers in the mid-300 range. so when the warrenty is up and when i have enough money thats the route im goin
