Colt Stage 3 "Big Stick", awesome Cam. Most aggressive on before machining. I have one, and love everything about it.

100 less on my egts, mileage increase wasn't noticeable, but I imagine it did help.

hey i am considering this as well...very stupid question regarding installation (and I don't mean to hyjack) - what do you have to remove to gain access to install a cam?
radiator, intercooler, trans cooler, etc? or is it easier / harder than that?

Everything in front of the engine has to come out. I was able to keep the A/C condenser in place, and just swing it to the side so the freon didn't have to be removed and charged. Dampener comes off, front timing cover, rocker cover, rockers and push rods. Once in this deep, its a good time to consider a head gasket and studs, depending on power expectations. It will also make it easier to hold the followers up when the cam is removed and installed.
