I was looking to get a Christmas present for my 240sx...I love the sound of a good cam, and also hear that they will give me more top end power. Ive been checking Brian Crower, Jim Wolf. Are these worth the $380-$500 price. Has anyone had any luck with them on a stock ka?

For the 91? Look into doing valve seats, springs, retainers. Your also going to want to shim the lifter buckets now.

Well the Brian Crower Cams say the are a drop in replacement for the stock cams, no modification required. This might mean that it probably doesn't do much?I might just go for a new muffler.I have the cat back setup, but the muffler is not what I wanted.Maybe Megan racing, Apexi universal, or a knock off?

The car is old, things will be worn, the valve seals, lifter bucket shimming, and valve spring pressure shimming shuld be a minimal done.

It's the basics of old and tired and upgrading.
