I see so many people using different cam setups, I am just wanting to see what YOU are running? I don't see many people using aftermarket cams like JWT or BC is it simply because some people are too cheap? Me personally I have BC stage 2 and am wondering how it will affect my motor once I leave for the world of boost.

Most ka guys don't like to spend too much money. I pick up the slack and spend too much.I'm running stage 3 BCs. You should be good with stage 2s on boost since thats what they were desgined for- BCs dyno chart on their website shows KAs on 19psi.

Wrong, they don't have much money! But on more serious note. read this and you'll know why.

Yeah I sort of browsed through that thread, I come to the same conclusion, most KA owners are cheap. Nothing against that, just not my cup o tea.

Not all of us can be baller status and spend lots of money making our cars look and run pretty.

Just as a side note, I'm not cheap! I'm just inexpensive

I did not do the work myself- I have no time or knowledge to do the important mechanical engine work- I had AMS build my engine. I believe that there were no problems, even with the stroker and high-compression pistons (to answer questions before they start- yes BC stroker, no dyno to post, not finished- need a decent intake solution to get the car to breathe- car is now in storage, spring should be fun )
