lol, all that is, is an XD cam. its an OEM hyundai part.. that means you could probably find it at the junkyard for a lot less than 200$.. i wouldn't spend 200$ for a cam that has JUST 4 degrees of duration more than mine.

yes, 4 degrees will make a difference, but 200$ of difference. no.

you would be better off spending 500$ and getting your cams reground to like a duration of 268 or at least in the 250s.

the Beta 1 1.8 intake cam (which is what you should be running if you have the original beta 1 engine in your 2.0) is only like $150 or so from the dealer. It is straight plug and play, open the cam cover, undo the 10 bolts that hold the intake cam in, slip it out (After lining up the engine so that the chain marks and cam marks line up) and drop the new one in, bolt it down (9 foot pounds on those bolts, unless you enjoy drilling and tapping) and put the cam cover back on.. between that an an intake, you are probably pushing 150hp as this is close to the F2 Evo specs

Better yet go to KDMstuff.com and get the 1.8 cam for 100 bucks.
