Brian Crower and Jim Wolf technology are both good too. i've heard the JWTs make a little more power but are a lot more expensive, it's up to you.

if you want to use HKS, you'll have to get an SR, thay make virtually nothing for the KA.

Any validation to this? Seems like it would be totally bogus, unless it was pure sarcasm.

jwt or crower is the only options. you will need cam gears. we put jwt cams in my friend car with the basic NA mods, and he lost over 1 sec in the 1/4 from the last time he ran. the car was gutless before 5500.

save your money and do a budget ka-t, it well give you more power for cheaper.

NA KA = :loco:

Boosted KA w/ the right turbo = 400hp at 1 bar and a rolling burnout @ 20 lbs of boost in 5th gear on the highway. I've seen it w/ my own two eyes.

PDM racing.com has some great deals on alot of stuff. Their Colt Cams are a great deal + they have ECU tuning now. Canadians can be KA tuners too :) .

Go with Crowers. I'm running the 264/264 or stage 2 whatever you wanna call them. I tried to run Brian Crowers cams but he's backordered for a few months. Anyways they're a great drop in cam that doesn't require valve springs and retainers. I can send you my dyno sheet if you're interestd in seeing the power curve.

Ok I peaked at 21 lbs and leveled off at 20lbs.. maxed out my FMIC but this should give you a good idea of the powercurve.. sorry the dyno cuts out before the 7200rpm redline but it stays completely flat and level.. doesn't drop off hard like it use to with stock cams..

I wish I could find my old graph at 355whp @17lbs on a dynojet.. I now make 380whp at 16lbs on a mustang dyno.. my gains we're extraordinary..
