Default SR GT Cam vs. YM Kit cam shafts

- YM Kit cam shafts
- Available for Tiburon/Elantra 2.0 & 1.8 currently. Will be available for other models soon.
- 12 Deg up to 240 Deg from stock 228 Deg
- 8 - 11 HP increase
- Usually ships in 7 - 10 days
- S/H $12.15 - 17.50

That's available at HDK. It's $350, so I'm wondering if that's a better deal than the SR Cam. Will there be much of a horsepower increase with the SR Cam? I have an auto

it's not worth it. for one, i don't see why manufacturers charge more for a cam with a more aggressive grind than others that they offer. they're just charging more for the performance, as the cam costs the same to produce. the xd cam (elantra gt oem) will give you around 5hp and 4lb-ft of torque. umm, i'm not sure if this is to the wheels. but dumping money into n/a mods for a beta engine isn't really worth it. as has been discussed on this board, h/i/e/bbtb/bim will yield around 8-12 whp. furthermore, just adding a cam that will produce 5 whp to a stock car won't necessarily produce 5 whp on a modded car. save up for a turbo. now, h/e/bbtb/bim/cam combo will help you out with a turbo, as this helps the turbo do what it needs to do: breathe.
