Autos are good 11 secs and below ET. tongue.gif Thats when it gets terribly hard to keep up with the gearing. Running through gears on GSX is deathly hard now @ 12.5.

I never said anything about wanting to remove weight. Plus i need the backseat for my niece's safety seat. Hard to look cool with a child seat in the back of your sports car. Especially if it ain't your kid.

Indeed, back on topic. I have yet another question. I keep seeing aftermarket intake cams, but what about exhaust? What goes in must come out...

they do have them... Kspec carries them I believe.. However, it is a slightly more involved install than the intake.. If you have any plans to go turbo, I would recommend against it.

Most of us don't buy high cams (272s, 268s, etc.) but rather better Hyundai cams. The 2.0L exhaust cam is the best that came on a Hyundai, so we keep it. tongue.gif

If your staying N/A, then a pair of 268s would work wonders for power on the car and really make it move on higher RPM. IF you go turbo, then keeping the cams stock is the best play. Less duration and less lift on cams with a turbo create less problems.

The 1.8 cam is the one you want...
