I was giving this some serious considerations. Then I read a thread about 103 up grades and then there was a post about cams only. I figured since I already have the Stage 1 kit I would save some money by upgrading the cams only when I had the 30,000 miles service. Did not cost me to check the cam chain shoes since I was changing cams. 2 birds with 1 stone you might say. I had the cams changed and got what I wanted with less $$ spent. I did go with the SE 255 cams and there is most likely better choices out there. I was looking for TQ only. The cams pull good from 2,200 rpms to 4,000 rpms. 6th gear slag as I call it is no more. I figure if I still wanted to go with the 103 later then I only needed to bore the cylinders change pistons and have the head work done. It is easier for me to pay less at one time and still get what I want in the end.
My mpg did not change
I really like the extra pulling power I got. I do have to watch the throttle because it revs so much easier now.
Just a thought

I'm sure your cams alone upgrade has given you a nice increase in power and performance and I'm glad to read you're satisfied with your investment. Now, if you want an even more impressive bump in power, especially in the torque department, take the 103 cid route.
Believe me when I tell you, there's a lot of truth in the old hotrodders saying,
"There's no replacement for displacement." More cubes equals more torque and it's the most effective way to gain it.
