I'm thinking about buying the XD/GT cams from kspec.com but would like to know if it would help or not... or if I should also get adjustable sprockets with the cams... All I have right now is an Intake and exhaust on my 01 5-speed

Well I would watch this vid of Kspec's cam gears: ftp://ftp.canaanstudios.com/115_1535.avi
and then read this thread, as it appears they are having some issues with the machining on their cam gears: http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46559
Not sure of they just had a bad batch or if it is a consistent thing.
As far as cams helping, a larger camshaft or camshafts will always add more power somewhere. Now don't think you're going to walk out in your garage bolt em in and drive on off. It should be done by someone with all the right tools and abilities. Might help to post us a link to the cams, i am sure I could find em myself, but it is Sat. morning and I am lazy ;)

Is this just the cam sprockets being machined incorrectly or the cams themselves? If it's the cams do you know of any other place that makes performance cams for 2nd gen tiburons?
