Post Cams?

Anyone ever change the cams on their 951's? Just curious if this is a logical choice....or if the horsepower gains are even worth it.

Depends upon what level of mods you have in your car. Cams would be one of the last upgrades after chips, boost-controller, free-flow exhaust, MAF, larger-turbo, aftermarket EFI & MAP, head porting&polishing, adjustable cam-sprockets, then cams. Kinda follows a bang-for-the-buck or HP/dollar-spent type of progression...

Time for a 3.3ltr 968-based VarioCam 25-psi monster turbo motor, eh?

Rage,
I have been considering a cam upgrade but have not seen any results posted.
What kind of cam are you going with? numbers? Also what kind of perf. numbers are you running 60? 1/4? Just curious my new set-up should produce simular hp/torque results.
Paul
