As far as putting them in. Its just like putting in the stock ones. But a cam that large is going to need better valve springs then the stock ones. From what I understand you can get away with 264's with the stock springs but go any higher and you are asking for problems. Good luck.

HKS offers 3 stages of cams all featuring a 264 duration. The stages offer different amounts of lift. Stage 1 can be used with stock VT. Stage 2 needs upgraded springs. And stage 3 springs and a lash killer kit

How can anyone honestly comment with a semi-correct answer without knowing his setup?
