Johann Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 guys what do you think that will be the big differnce with the CAT cams??? 60 crank HP on my NA.. Max lift you can find on stock cams is 8.45 mm. Max lift you could reach safely without binding the springs and touching the seals is near 9.5 mm Even then different springs are advised which means the 1200 dollar won't cover all. There's another company called KM Cams offering cams for the 5 cylinder, http://kmcams.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=16&products_id=415 Price isn't that much different from CatCams.
