Yea, any of the pi cams will work, but if you use the press on type, then you'll have to take off the front timing cover and re-time. If you use the bolt-on type gears, all you have to do is swap out the cams and hold the gears in place as you swap them.

It is a noticeable gain...

I ran the pressed on sprocket PI cams when I had them...

I prefer removing the front cover to install the cams, it is the ONLY way to ensure that your cams are timed correctly. Leaving the cover on, your hoping to hell you didn't skip a tooth...
