This is at the 7k+ rpm.No one does the cams because it really wont give you much (if any) benefit over the stock ones. In fact, you will probably gain power in the top end but loose power in the bottom, or vice versa so it is kind of a step backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it is right how it is? Lol :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
