    S3 intense cam is pretty crazy, you would need to have someone that isnt intense tune it for you... Even then you might struggle if you drive it in sub zero temps alot.

    A XP is a good balance in terms of being able to run on a mail order tune / a tune by a moron.

    IS3 cam with gen5 and E85 would be a fun build forsure. That was my 1st plan then by the time you start adding in cost of heads, injectors, double roller chain, 130# springs, I think for the money a turbo setup gets to be a seriously close decision considering everthing thats needed to run that IS3 cam and get the most out of it and still prolly make 350whp. Or just do a turbo and make 350whp easily. The turbo just leaves room to make way more HP down the road.

    Nope I was just talking about the money invested, the turbo leaves more room to make much more.

    I see most so far have been running or used to run a cam for about 3 years. Those that don't anymore, is it because you sold the car or did something break?
