Default Cams

Simply put

Wade or Crow Cams?

What are the positives and negatives of each company or are they basically the same...
Looking at a high torque cam for my car (Add's roughly 6kw and doesn't require a computer upgrade or modification).

My 2c is pay the money to a falcon tuner not a cam grinder as the stock ecu is hard to please.

The std cam with 119LSA means the ecu gets a nasty shock from some cams with 110LSA's.

I was surprised that I can get Crow Vernier Gear and Cam for about $600 all up. Then It's just paying a mech to install...

Guy at Crow says it should be FINE with stock computer

If not how much to get something to help the computer re-adjust properly

Depends which avenue you're looking at going.

When I first got my cam in, it ran 110% spot on without any mods to the ECU.

A piggyback chip or an Edit will help the ECU to re-adjust.
