i just got 285 with so many WOT runs and runs up to 140 or so. I'll be installing a 224/228 cam here next week, so we'll see if it changes

who ****** cares about GAS MILAGE???????

if your worried about gas milage you should buy a ****** honda civic....

YES, YOUR CAR WILL SUCK MORE FUEL WHEN YOU SWAP CAMS AND TRY TO MAKE MORE HP!

just throw in a cam and shut up and enjoy all the new HP!

good luck!

Hey, if you dont like the topic, stay out and let it go. It doesnt concern you seeing as all you want to do is bash what we are all discussing. Have a nice day

You can bet it will change. Any spirited driving with the cam and it will just suck down more fuel, but its well worth it!

how the hell do you tug the car along in 6th gear at 40?
