the dynos are out there guys.. go check them out. its proven beyond any doubt, 294 cams add power from idle to redline with peaks of about 25-30hp gains.

maybe gains on the 5sfe coz the cams that came from it is not that great,ive had stage 2 integral cams on my miata with a standalone ecu it was dyno tuned numerous times and i saw a lost in the bottom end for a better top end, ive had toda cams also on my crx the same thing i saw when it was dyno tuned,ive also had a crate engine for my last miata it was dyno tuned with a very aggressive maruha cams it idle like crap like to 1200rpm allot of lost in low end torque but a very nice high-end power.ive been playing with cams for a long time.I can vouch for these cars that ive had that has cams and full tuning from a good dyno tuner.
this is what integral cams said about the miata cams that they are selling.
Our Miata cams are ground on either European Chilled Cast Iron Billets or alloy steel billets. Stage 1, 2, and 3 cams bolt-in just like the stock cams and work with the stock lifters and valve springs. Custom design services are available for full race applications.
Stage 1 designed for stock engines and cold air box.
Stage 2 designed for engine with cold air box and headers, although can be used with pure stock engine.
Stage 3 must use cold air box and headers;( slight loss in low-end torque but big gains from 4000-7000 rpm.)
Price: $575 per pair for stage 1 - 2 cast iron cams, $702 per pair for stage 3 - full race steel billet cams. We accept Visa and MasterCard.
for everyone do your research on cams check out the dyno like tom said
results are different for every cars but but all cams have the same principle.
