Do a search here or DT or other forums to get real opinions from folks that run them. Their input should provide more in depth reviews on the cams mentioned. If you want a visual then youtube is full of videos of comp 260, sidewinders, crazy jay, little boy, 6.1.
We kind of just given you a base of what cams to go for per your posts and the limitation of an 03. Half the fun is researching.

From what i have read the sidewinder seems to be a little "better" than the comp 260 but some had to resort to running PSC-1 in conjunction with a SC. Comp 260 you can pretty much count it running bad *** on a SC canned tune only. You will be happy either way.


I think i saw a sidewinder for sale too on one of the dodge or lx forums.

Gotta have some wiggle room. One site could be $50 cheaper than another. Some offer free shipping.

Check here for some cam prices

http://www.inertiamotorsports.com/camshafts.html

There is a Sidewinder cam on the LX board right now for 400

Those 260 and Sidewinders do not need custom tuning but will need canned tunes from something like the Superchip.

canned tunes are the basic standard one-tune-fits-all tune. It is not a custom tune made for your individual application or ride

Sidewinder from MWP shows $450.00 shipped. Like weed said there is a used one for sale on LX forums.
Comp 260 you can get from quite a few vendors/sites including e-bay.


Also, here you can see a comparison charts for the MWP/FRI cams.
