Anyhow, Nitrous does destroy your block... A turbocharger is probably the most efficient way of adding the most power without destroying other qualities like gas mileage and reliability.

I supercharged my mustang and went from 11 mpg to 8... I love the power, but geez it's an expensive trip to the store.
what part of sac you from? im in the area too and most places the differences are only 20-30cents.

and nitrous doesnt destroy engines. idiots wanting to be fast and furious spraying at every stop light destroys engines.

the filliment is proably crap, and the welds are just as bad. you get what you pay for, I'd stay away from that no name ebay crap unless its an intake. thats the only no name type product I'd consider.

These camshafts are regrinds, all web and gude camshafts are regrinds, which typically involves removing some of the lobe at the base of the circle. The other way to modify a stock core is to reweld and grind the cam back down.

In either case I would avoid such a cam for street use, they should really be used most for track cars. It's difficult to gauge wear of the lobes on a regrind for street use over time.

what part of sac are you in as in Downtown Sac it's 20-21 cent more for premium but the 87 is $3.24 right now and the 91 is $3.44

as for the camshaft the Vtec ones are good as is and unless you got a name brand that is a new billet your going to have problems or frequent valve adjustments .
