Why? Why not up grade to better cams?

I should explain my situation. I do have a set of Comps 262's in the car but i'm thinking of pulling them out and selling them then possibly going with a blower. If i can safley get away with just replacing the cams with the stock ones and leaving the CompCams springs in thats time and money saved for me.

of course you can always benefit from stiffer springs even with the stock cams.

Yep, it's technically better either way. I wouldn't even second guess it.

The 262s are a pretty mild cam, really, and should work well with a blower. Are you selling because you need money or because you're concerned these "Stage 1" cams will not work with the blower?

Ive heard that those 262's actually do very well with a blown applicaiton as well. And if you have it all torn apart, get some blower cams and sell your 262's to offset some of the cost. I think the best bet is just leave them in and don't bother with all that crap. They will give you better gains than stock cams with a blower.
