I don't think cams are worth it

They are if you find someone who knows what they are doing with the tune.

I agree. Unless an owner is trying to squeeze every bit of horsepower out of a car, they definetly aren't worth it. Clearly he isn't trying to do that if he's wanting to keep the car completely legit with the cats. It sounds like he's just wanting a fun street car that is "set it and forget it".

That $2000 bucks for the cams would be better spend towards a blower kit.

Mini CJ exhaust cams can be had for under $400....

My point was that his goal of 400rw NA is very easily achievable withminimal mods.

There is more than just the cams that need to be purchased for that installation, but there is also the cost of installation itself which is very costly. Even still, it's minimal gains for a lot of money.

Yes, it can be. But by not deleting the cats, he is making himself find a more difficult route to obtain that.

Yes, but even then, Frank bought everything he needed for the cam swap from Nic for $350. Cams and springs. Grant it he did the install himself, being a mech, I would imagine if you had a decent amount of mechanical knowledge, and offered to help while learning, someone would cut you a deal, or getting a buddy to help. It's still a setup that could be completed and installed for less than half what the Comp Stage 3 costs alone, for roughly the same gains.
