    i would do the cam swap myself but i might pay someone to do the change as i dont want to mess it up, but the local stealer quoted like 800 for the labour 4 hours and new lifters and rocker box gasket sets so mmmm all up id be looking at like a grand just for a cam change and i think its a bit steep

    Have a chat to ya local indy, let him know what you're trying to achieve and they should be able to point you in the right direction. Not sure whether this will help ya, however it gives a basic overview of the various engine upgrades for the sporties:

    Just bought one of these kits and Andrews N4 Cams, waiting for it to arrive @ the moment. Found these guys through a few of the international XL forums and they are supposed to be the ducks nuts when it comes to Sporties!!

    ive found the n4 cams to be much quieter than the 536 cams and much the same really
    can say ive got the 1250 kits from nrhs and well worth it
