stage 1 or 2 vt cams........I hear good things about both of them but how much power does the stage 2 with springs put out over the stage 1 cams?....looking into getting one or the other but dont want to waste money on the springs if stage 1 cams produce almost as much hp's....so how big of a difference inbetween the 2 choices fill me in guyz

VT Stage 2's.. don't go with anything less than 4.10's.

I had them with 3.73's and it felt awful. It was sooo undergeared, but after the 4.10's it feels great.

Just don't end up like me 1 1/2 months after the tune.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKVhmUytZu8

Go with stage 8's. Then you'll need to keep you're gas constantly floored to keep the car from dying

You will see a really good gain with the VT stage one cams.
Also the cam install will be alot more simple if with VT stage
one cams since you will not have to install valve springs witch
are a PITB to install.Idle will not be as rough with the VT stage
one's compaired to the stage two's.I would get a tune with either
staged cam so,you will get the most power out of them.
If you see a power adder in your future get FRPP 3.73's instead.
