It wouldn't make a difference since the valve timing is only off by 4 deg. Both the intake and exhaust valves are open for the same amount of time. It would be better to get a more aggressive cam that has higher lobes. That way the valves are open for a longer period of time. You need to be careful with the extra lift so the valves don't hit the pistons.

It should be pretty easy. Just take off the belt cover, take off the timing belt, unbolt the cam gear and slide the cam out.
You need to be careful to have the first piston at TDC when taking off the belt and taking out/putting in the camshaft.

Look at the service manual to see the procedure in more detail. ^That's just from the top of my head.

do you mean wider lobe's so they stay open longer?(duration) And the 4g93 has a larger duration and it stay's open long and less lift so it does not open as

much.http://www.rpw.com.au/Products/Engin...pec4g93s16.htm

Might as well save up and get a stage 2, 3 or a 272/272 cam instead. You're not going to feel a difference with the 4g93 cam.

RPW says it can handle high lift cams, send them an email if you're uncertain.
but anything higher than their stage 2 camshafts requires their valve springs

4g94T - When you install your cam make a vid of it. The rough idle makes my girlfriend's panties wet!

Haha
Sykou posted a video of his idle, it's not so harsh if you raise your idle to 1k
But the valvetrain noise is even worse

you dont need springs if your changing the cam GEAR its the cam SHAFT that need new springs if its agressive enough. the cam gear is the thing thats on the end of the camshaft that the timing belt goes around
