[QUOTE="Lstruck03, post: 12321667, member: 65191"] magazine articles aside (becuase it has been proven over and over that their numbers are very hard to duplicate) please show me a stock engine ported car that gained a legitimate 45-60whp with cams alone. Using that logic, you can assume that twin screw cars can gain 70-80hp. Which just is not true. Why do you think a ton of people still use stock cams, even with engine rebuilds? I personally have Comp stg2 cams, but only because I found a deal on them. Are they better than stock? yes. Are they 45+hp better even with a high boost whipple, big heads, and more compression (like I have), no. If you gain 30hp with cams ALONE on an eaton car, you are doing VERY good. Most likely, someone very knowledgable installed and degreed them and tuned them very well. Correctly installing cams, especially if they require a spring change, is something that 99% of the community simply can not do. As far as ported intakes, they also have been proven to show very little gains. Go back and read some of Posi's threads where he tested his intakes, and from those who bought the ported steggy units. Again, mine is ported, but because I used cnc'd navi heads and the ports were no where close to matching. [/QUOTE]
