A cam upgrade on the S2000 only gave around an 8% power increase, 15-25% seems rather high without any other modifications.

the s2000 is highly tuned out of the box though.as we all know we have to go blown to get real power gains on the f20c

i am sure mr graves would know how an aggressive cam shaft would give power gains on a pushrod engine

As far as I understand the major power increase from racier cams is a result of the engines ability to rev higher. Typically you sacrifice midrange and a smooth idle for peaky top end power.

dont be a poofter- just get the charger
