All RPW cams are abut $380. They all cost the same because they grind each to order from a blank, and aren't modifying an existing cam. So NA 1,2,3 costs the same as FI 1,2,3

In response to some of the questions provided

(A) The stage 1 cams for a manuel and auto are different. The auto models we run a slightly smaller grind profile so that you retain the exact specific smooth idle for the auto where the manuel can accomodate a slightly rough idle. HP always varies according to mods done to the car but as an average figure expect between 5 - 10hp at teh wheels with improved midrange torque again depending upon mods. The more mods the more hp.

(B) Visions customer service / emails - for the record emails are wonderful things except for the people who have to work through them. I get something like 50 emails a day and it is just not physically possible for me to go through them every day. Visions are no different and whilst we all try - the telephone is usually the better starting poiint for a faster response.

I also know that visions have employed two new salesman who are still learning the ropes so bear with them a little.

Finally we also now have two new USA dealers beign TS Performance and GTPRO so feel free to contact them as well for pricing.

Thanks for that info...I'm still trying to figure out how the prices keep changing when I call vision about this cam. I do want to buy it....I guess I'll look into the other companies you've listed. Thanks. Mitsiman...will the RPW stage 1 cam work well with boost. I plan on buying a T25 kit with intercooler....possibley upgrade to T28 down the road. I will get tuned with hks safc....I'm just curious to whether or not the cam will hurt me once the turbo is on.
Also, will the idle be somewhat rough. I do like that sound. I do want a nice gain out of the cam. Rather not spend the 400bux or whatever on a mod that will either hurt me...or not give me what I'm expecting.

I'm guessing you'd def need the upgraded valve springs....and prob need the cam sprocket and some sort of afc to tun the fuel curve and make sure everything is tuned correctly. that's just my 2 cents.............Ex-NA honda guy......that's how we rolled!!!!NA baby and spankin modded v8s.....gotta love NA.

TS Performance Mike Schuler 157 3RD AVENUE, UNIT 2D, WESTWOOD, NJ, 07675 (201) 9261535

GTPRO Brian La Fuente 17639 Rowland St Unit D, Industry, CA 91748 (626) 839-7767 (626) 839-7736

The changes in teh US V Australian dollar rate have caused some issues along with a price increase our end as well. Sorry if this has confused people as they all hapened one after another.

The stage 1 turbo cam works very nicely with any turbo conversion but of course teh stage 2 works better for higher boost 10 psi +

YEs yo need valve springs and cam gear with the stage 2 kit

Whoah...that Westwood address is like 4 blocks from cousins' home. I'll have to visit them both sometime soon. Glad you posted that otherwise I may never have known.

EDIT: That is of course presuming he has a storefront.
