Hi.  I am kinda stuck between selling my Nissan Motorsports cam or keeping it.  If i am to sell it, i would get my VLSD sooner but i will never be able to put it back in when i wanna do track racing or whatever.  I took it out cuz i didnt like the low end torque with it in, it was crappy.  Its a tough decision because if i sell it then im never gonna be able to get one again ( i could but it wouldnt make sense and it would take more money).  I will tell you guys that my types or driving are auto x, drag and drifting so what do you think i should do?   Thanks,  John

Sell the Nismo cam and get the VLSD.  Then later buy the JWT cams.  I hear their better anyways.

btw..  how was the top end with the Nismo cam?  was it an easy install?

Top end was great for a SOHC.  It was great on the highway.  I chose to take it out because i am more into drifting and some drag racing because lets face it, we cant run 100 miles an hour all day with out being caught.  There was no power til 3000 rpm and you cant get a good drag launch without perfect clutchwork.  It is definatley a must for track racing or long races.  Power was also more seamless in delivery.  And the install..easy.  Me and a couple friends did it in a couple hours.  hope this helps.  john
