Default Let's talk about Cams

Okay. I know it's a PITA to install, but i'll have my mechanics do it haha.

At this point, with my lackluster mods...would I be better off getting a magnum cam as opposed to a comp 200? I really want the comp but I can't find one used and I sure as hell dont' want to pay $200+ for it (Considering i've seen them go for $90)

Does anyone have any experience with the magnum cam? Is there a huge butt dyno difference lol

A Comp 200/Crane 12 will give you "more" power compared to the Magnum Cam. But if your on a budget and cant find a used Comp 200/Crane 12 then the Magnum cam is where its at....

Speaking about cams! What cam will offer the BEST performance with a stock PCM with stock limiters (6750 RPM) and without any head modification. comp 200/crane 12, magnum, or crane 14 (will it even fit?)

i believe its the equivalent to the comp 400 and i dont think it would give you the gains a 12/200 would....i asked this recently and this is what i got in reply from 03RT once again lol....

"A Comp 400 is designed for the Magnum cylinder head, so you wouldnt see as much gain on a standard SOHC head. If I were in your postition I would go for the Crane 12, Magnum Cam, or Comp 200, but not necessarily in that order."

so what if I had a heavily modded engine head. Would the crane 12 be obsolete? would it be better to get the crane 14 then?

I'm try to decide what to do...srt-4 swap or turbo my neon and build the engine up. Thats why I ask
