Any good, anybody have them? I believe their a pretty new product at brenspeed. Just wondering if they would be worth it as they are much cheaper and the cost of not having new springs is definetly enticing. Any opinions/ thoughts?
Again, I am still in the debate between going with cams or not... because I have seen dyno charts of people literally only getting a 20 rwhp gain from stage 3 comp cams... and if these new cams from brenspeed are made to fit the stock valvetrain (which for comp stage 3 you would probably have ta get new springs and retainers), then I would tell you to take a chance with comps or BBR's... I know BBR has gotten the most gains out of cams so far on the s197. I wouldnt buy cams just because they are cheap either. And... these new cams are almost the same priceas just getting a set of stage 2 BBR camsor stage 3 comp cams...(not the whole kit)

The Brenspeed cams are manufactured by Comp Cams. They are on the Comp website. They don't give any specs on them though. I'm assuming that being that they use the factory springs and retainers, that they are milder than the Stage 1 and Stage 2 cams. Brenspeed says +20 peak HP.

to get the gains you will need Great tuning i have been told.
that's the key. Having supporting mods like LT's is a big plus. I suspect people who have seen only 20hp went with a mild grind 9go big or stay home)and/or haven't gotten very good tuning. It takes someone with experience to get the most out of them.
I went from 306 to 350 hp when I did the cams. I haven't updated my sig, which still shows I have the WMS intake. I just switched to Airaid and picked up a bunch of low end torque while the upper end increased slightly as well.
Also, if you're going to lay out the cash to do the cams, don't short change yourself by not doing the springs also - it's not that much more and will extend your red line (make the most of all that high-end power)
Interesting. 37 hp 17 tq gain on an automatic. But longtubes and CM deletes were installed between cam install and last dyno. So how much do you think the cams actually netted him? If I'm looking at a solid 20 rwhp for half the price of the Stage 3 cams its something to consider.Install time is supposed to be4 hrs.

If your gonna get cams, you might as well get your heads ported..... with that you'll get the most hp out of them cams. I'm looking into cams that will work very well with nitrous as well as N/A... anyone know of any?
