Camshaft on n/a

Simple question:

You guys think I can break 200hp simply by adding a new performance camshaft?

I think the tier II is best for what i wanna do, but feel free to correct me.

Should I upgrade anything else to make sure everything doesn't fall apart?

Thanks... I'm having a ton of fun.

and sorry to double-post, but I AM NOT going to do an engine-swap. I don't want a turbo engine, because as far as I can tell, the F54 has the highest compression of any of the engines. I'd like to have a powerful engine without a turbo.

Nope.

Yep.



Search. We've discussed n/a motor upgrades in great detail. If you want 200hp on an n/a motor, you will be spending a lot, and doing a lot of work. Check out Shady's build. He's got $6k into his motor and running ~200whp.
