I have a 96 mystic with all bolt-ons.

Now I'm thinking of doing cams, and maybe porting while the heads are off.

comp cams are good in the 96-98 or another brand?

Porting. Should I bother getting it done? Would it be a big improvement?
10hp is not worth spending $800, so it would have to be decent gains to get me
interested.

IMRC... should it go out the door once I get the cams

I don't want it to snowball into a huge expense. I can afford cams and
labor.

$1500 or so for 50 more hp sound about what to expect?

Once you get past bolt-ons the hp gains are expensive and small...

Need advice bros
