Umm I have no idea, but I really doubt it will make that much of a difference.

I was thinking the same, but for $20, if it made any more power at all, it might be worth it.

Well seeing as how long it takes me to work on my car when I am doing anything, it would not be worth it for me. Just turn your boost controller up a ---- hair if you want a little more power.

I would guess that the gains if anything would be negligable.

I think i will just stay with the Z6 cam. it probably wouldnt be worth going through all of the hassle of changing it out. I could probably pull the same gains with a cam gear.
