To get a good upgrade you are looking a couple hundred bucks plus. Don't bother getting an even better cam unless you have the money to spare. (in reply to mustang51) Post #: 3

RE: roller cam? - 5/15/2008 7:42:35 PM    waldo786   Posts: 193 Joined: 4/24/2007 Status: offline Good question, I'm not looking for a racer but something that is zippy.  I know it's limitations as a 4 banger because at a certain point of spending money, the old adage about putting a v8 in it becomes true.  I just want it to have decent acceleration.  I hope that's not too vague, but I also want it to get good gas mileage as I plan on using it as a DD all summer, maybe even all year if I can ever move somewhere halfway warm in the winter.
