...and spring, rocker, and lifter shopping. The cam itself is the cheap part. Then there is install. Whole 'nother can of worms.
The power loss to drive train and accessories is always high. Without Cam/Heads or power adders, you will never dyno all the hp that the motor produces. The best you can hope is to minimize the loss.

300 rwhp stock! I don't know what ya'll are talking about! My 1999 A4 Z28 hit 300 rwhp totally stock. Then gained 12 rwhp with just MTI lid and Bellowes. I think he should be at least 350 rwhp with those mods!

... I personally HATE and i mean HHAATTEE the way cams sound...i mean theyre cool for the track, but if i hear all that churning,choppin,and clippin on the street i feel like yellin "Turn that OFF"...theyre just...TOO agressive for me...the pipes(af-american for "catback") and headers sound would be A-OK for me and id be content with 330rwhp..MAYBE 350..i dont speed 2 much anyway...my car is a garage queen, not a track tramp
...the chopping/chugging is what just turns me off about cams....but im sure they make u go
when u get on the gas....i do respect the guys who get DOWN INTO thier engines and turn them into chugging/clipping/crunkling racing behemoths though...just aint my thingamabob..ya dig
