Off topic, but someone told me that you can use replace the intake cam with another exhaust cam and get more power. Anyone here ever heard of that?

Can be done, in fact i have done it. If you don't have adjustable cam gears the JDM CA18DE exhaust cam is a better choice since you can't adjust the timing to find the 'Sweet Spot'. Have a look at this thread i made about setting up my cams;http://www.nissansilvia.com/fo...17&hl=

I have a pair of cams that came out of a low mileage ca18det. 36,000 miles on OD when engine was torn down.

I would rather not part them however, make an offer.
