i went with the 206 kit. by far the best bang for the buck, better than any plug and play out there.

Yeah, thats what i've heard. Did you do anything else at the time of the cam replacement, like TB and intake??? Or just the cams??
How much did you pay for em?? (-sorry....dont mean to steal the thread)

i paid the full rice 750.00 and cost another 400.00 to install. kinda pricey but worth it. also i just installed my 70 mm tb from the fastman which was even a bigger gain. now i need to take it back to the dyno
