am picking up a a cam for my gem on monday. and want to know if it's really worth the $264 incl. GST that i was quoted.

i have a g161 with a full reco, that is, fully stock, but literally a brand new motor, done about 2000km's since reco. and i am puting in a "High torque cam for standard engines", it's part no. 782506, the one at the top of the screen at the link below. power range 1800 to 5500rpm.

my QN is whether it would give noticable power for the low rev range. and any comments from ppl that have used this cam.

thanx. chris.

why dont u get a standard cam re ground to a 30/70 it will rev between 3grand and 7 then. thats the most common cam grind. but a cam wont do a lot if u dont have head work or get ur dissy recureved.
