Ok...lets see some dyno results. And not ones from their web site.

Speaking from personal experience dont waste your time or money on cams.

They dont have any numbers on their website.... the Cams are still very new,

Just because you had a bad experience with BC cams, Doesn't mean they are a waste . these cams come from someone who actually knows what they are doing....

WRONG!

Hytech cams make pretty impressive power....

So have you personally tested a set? Or what vailidates your "impressive power...." comment? Can you prove your comment?

Over the years there has been more then one company with cams for our car. The best known and the oldest I can think of are Toda. The first ones made verifiable power. The problem was how they were made. The were soft and galled easy. To date, no one has ever posted anything that proves there is a better set of cams available.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying it can't be done. I am just saying that is has yet to be done. So for 600-800 for a new loss is IMHO, a waste of time.

No, you can just get cams. I don't think any of the cams that I know of require you to change the pulleys from OEM.

There are some requirements based on the cams manufactures recomendation. Stiffer springs is an example.

just wanting to get some opinions on how effective it is to make power by upgrading cams.. gude has a set of cams for the s2k but it doesnt say much about them, i'm guessing they are stage 1.. what kinda experience and power gains do you guys have with cams and what do u know about gude as a brand and their products?

my experience was a loss of 40 bucks in shipping and 6hrs total install and removal time.

BC cams were a joke on my 06 s2k. get an e-manage ult or something else...

i don't think there is a single cam set that makes power unless it's the vtec cam from toda.
