Well seriously dont plan on cams for a little while. But wanted the info. All I have at this exact moment in time is a K&N typhoon and 2 1/2 in. exhaust from header back with flowmaster. But I definitely plan on getting cams and wanted to do the research so I know what to get. I've already read all that the manufacturers web sites have to offer, figured you guys would have the real world experience.

It's cam not cams, we are SOHC thus we only have one. It should be the last thing you do as it requires you to know whether you'll be turbo or NA and how modified you want to be.

Sorry again, used to saying cams all the time. Geez. Thats what I was saying. Its not for a while. But I wanted to do the research. I have the feeling your really not wanting to be very helpful with me. Im sorry if I seem uneducated but I really just type things in here and post them.

I have no problem helping people, I have a general dislike for doing all the work though. If you want an RPW cam, look at RPW's website.

Well but see, I've checked out RRM, Accolade, and RPW. I'm kinda leaning toward accolade. Heard anything about them?

Ahh. did not know that. So basically then, does accolade resell everything or do they actually make some items themselves?

Stage 2 is fine with supporting mods. You will need stiffer springs to run a Stage 2 cam though and you should have an adj. cam gear to degree it. Outside of that, you better be pretty deep NA to be considering one since it's one of those mods that you should have all the supporting mods behind it.

The cams are also NA and turbo specific so you have to know what you want before you get one.

Right, definitely turbo. Here is a question though. My uncle races an alcohol burner on a dirt track. His timing belt was stock and shook around while he was driving and caused his pistons to smash his valves. He should have had a high performance timing belt he said. Now I know his car is totally different but would it be wise to get a performance timing belt or will a stock one work just fine?

There are no performance timing belts available for our car. Regardless of this, unless you're pushing stupid HP, you don't need to worry.

the only diff between turbo and Na apps is the duration and lift adjustments. not sure though, but just custom grind one from:
