I think you're talking about the XD cam and the 1.8 cam..right? The XD is the more controversial cam but has a higher lift...the 1.8 cam is a safe bet..I would go with the 1.8 if I were you..you can also do a search on this...it's been covered several times...hope this helps

Or, again, you could search man, go to the TOP of the forum page and click on SEARCH.
Type in 1.8L CAM and read read read.
I answered you over at Kspec.com also.
You keep mentioning this "Kspec Intake Cam", there is no such thing. We can sell any of the cams avialble in Korea, but we do not rebrand items to our name like Shark Racing or Team Shark Racing, nor do we make any products.
The only cams ON the site are the GT Cam, and the 1.8L Cam is available by request.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (hamhead)</div><div class='quotemain'>Dealers have them for $150.00 or so as well. You would probably need to go there anyway to pick up cam journal bolts.</div>
why would you need new cam journal bolts? They ONLY torque to 9 pounds.. so I doubt they are stretching.

From what I have heard, they are VERY easy to break.
