Hot cams are a alternative to web and mega-cycle cams. With hotcams you keep your stock cam. You do not have to use your factory cam as a core. They (hotcams) are cheaper than the other cams out there. They are better in my opinion. The stage 1 is a drop in cam. It will put you in front of the piped and jetted crowd. About 130 dollars from craycraft racing. Call Bob at 817 441 5893 and he will answer your questions and sell you what you need for reasonable $$

Ok,if I was in Texas or California,I would phone,BUT Im in Spain and it would most likely cost me as much to buy one as to make the phone-call.,LOL.What I really want to know is does it make a big differance? Does it use much more gasoline? And the power it puts on say for example on top,would it take the power from the bottom or would it just add the power without taking it from elsewhere?

The more power you make the more gas you use but it's not a big difference. I just put in a stage 1 cam and it added a little to the mid range and a little more to the top but I now have a bog that I can't get rid of doing second gear starts, not real bad but I don't like that part. It would be best to up the comp. when doing a cam to make up for the loss in the bottom end.
I would not put one in if you don't have a pipe, filter and jet kit.

Bobs member name here is MBRP....MBRP has a furum exclusively as well. Go there and ask Bob a question and I am sure he will respond when he gets a chance. I would tell him I am from Spain as well so he knows your situation and maybe can help there as well.
