Who makes a good set of cams for a 92 240sx and how much do they cost. I want to upgrade my car and i figure cams would be a good thing to do that with. i saw that jim wolf makes cams but that is for the sohc 240sx.

Jim Wolf makes them for the DOHC too:

Also, PDM makes some:

but some people have reported less than spectacular results with them.

Mattlord..........

The people that "reported less than spectacular results" with the PDM / Colt cams..........what did they have to say exactly. I was just thinking about doing the cams myself and I have been steering heavily towards Don at PDM.......the values for intake and exhaust lift and duration look pretty good.

Not having used them, or knowing someone that has, I would love to get some information!

As I recall, and this is all from reading people's posts on the subject, the PDM cams caused a significant loss in lowend power with minimal high end gains over using two 91 exhaust cams. Keep in mind that I do not have any actual experience with them and I am just reporting what I have read.
