What do you need cams for? Are you going to be racing? Turbo Trix has an intake cam out for the IX.

Come on, this isn't a serious question is it?

You don't know that the IX has MIVEC and therefore can't use previously-made cams? People were adding the exhaust cam, because that's the only one that would fit, not because the IX only needs an exhaust cam.

Correct. Currently, only TurboTrix offers two cam replacements for the IX. They are pricey though, and I'm unsure if you'll have to upgrade the valvetrain.

I thought about getting a 280 hks exhaust cam when I got the warrton package. (when she gets broken in) From what I seen on a old thread was a gain of about 30 whp is this true.
Plus I want a little bit of a loopy sound.

No, we haven't seen a 30whp from a single exhaust cam.

Yes, it would be a bit lopey.

How much have you seen warrtalon?
Sorry but I don't find it funny, I have seen one thread, but the car had a 35r on it.

expect about 10-15whp out of a 272 maybe 20whp or a little more out of a 280

I haven't seen anything, jeff. There has been no proof yet on a stock turbo. There's no reason to look at a GT35R-equipped car when making a single cam choice. I have yet to see a before-and-after graph with significant gains.

I also have _no_ idea what Edwin is talking about. For the past year, he's been defending PDT with his life, and now look - the truth has come out, and he doesn't like them anymore, yet he still wants to talk smack to me. That's pretty funny...
