    Why not get a stock cam? There are plenty floating around for silly low money.

    Well the OP was looking to modify his performance, otherwise I am sure he would have plugged a stock cam back in.

    For the same reason people buy intercoolers that raise IATs more than stock, restrictive cold air intakes, certain types of superchargers, and cams that take a stock MC S to base Cooper levels..,:mad2:

    That, or they look nice, can't figure out which.

    One word....
    Butt-dyno/pleceabo.....and NO, NOT THE STRAPON KIND!!:devil: interestingly enough the effect is the same....you got f$%ked!!
    Owner spends money....feels better!! Granted...sometimes a new INFERIOR PART IS better than a worn or broken OEM, so there might be a change before vs after....just not as good as new OEM or quality part....

    Looks like I missed out on the fun...
    Listen to the people who are trying to save your car, not the ones trying to sling parts. Just because something is shiny red and new, doesnt mean there is an advantage to it... The MSD, wasn't even made to be used on a MINI, why do you think you need to drill the mounting holes out to get the screws in? (Maybe they fixed that issue)

    NS cams have been linked to a ton of problems... Misfires, sub par running conditions, loss of power over a stock cam, the list goes on... Seems like before I was banned from the Mynes forum, there where a lot of those guys swapping their NS cams for CAT cams... Kinda makes you wonder why doesn't it?

    If Mr Cricket gets his posting time back from his wife, maybe he will come back into the thread and explain that one for us...

    Looks like someone's "friends" are not available to tell him what to say anymore all he can do is post pictures.
