do you know what a cam does? a hot cam just gives the valves more lift. intake and exhaust. the stage 1 cam is just intake i think, stage 2 is both cams.

HotCams is the brand...

they give lots of top end power if you allready have a good intake and exhaust system, otherwise you dont get much from them, and if you have a manual you can put them in yourself.

they cost almost twice as much and you have to give them your stock cams to. a stage 2 cam set is all you need. a bigger carb and porting will help you alot, big bore or high comp. im wanting to get mine ported .

a set of hot cams will run around $250/300 for the set.and they're easy to install if you have done it before. but then you need to have the valves readjusted. and that takes time, you have to install and measure, remove and replace valve shims and start all over till you get the clearance you need
and web cams are nice but cost a little more and like what was said before you have to send them your old cams for the core charge
