3800 cam or rockers

[redgt03]

I am not sure which route to go, should i get the 1.8 rockers or the gt cam (03 gt). I dont really race, but i want wake the car up alittle more, but stay very reliable. Cam install is high, would a rocker install be cheaper? Is the performance gains about the same? Thanks.

cam is like 3 times the amount to install
but have a higher hp gain, rockers only help on the high end ,no torque gain,
so it will really depend on what you want more of ..lowend or high end
cam gives both
and dont get 1.8's get 1.9' mod'd stockers
no springs need for change and more power..well more like maybe 1-4 hp over the 1.8's

Yeah I know, but 3000 + is alot of money, just to have things break on me down the road....my car is more for show, with alittle speed.

I was talking about the turbo or supercharger breaking things...I am not really concerned about the cam doing much damage.
