Does anyone know what the differences as far as gains with these two are? Any insite would be helpful.

The 400 is made optimally for the magnum head whereas the 200 is for the standard head. I'd still recommend the 400 for the standard head. Its been done before on stock valve springs w/o an issue.

What i meant was what does the 400 offer that the 200 does not? or vice versa?

more power.

The 200 is close to the Magnum cam, the 400 is an upgrade for the Magnum.
Hence ZeroChad's statment.

So if yall had to pick one which would you pick......I can get the 200 for $65 shipped Used and the 400 cost about $260 shipped new.

Your better off getting a Magnum one then the 200

Posted: **Sat Aug 22, 2009 9:06 pm**

poop.

i have a 200 uninstalled, i guess ill be looking for a magnum or 400

The 200 is an alright cam, it's an upgrade from the stock cam. It's on par with being equal with the magnum cam. If you have one, throw it in the car, it's easy to do.

would i see sustantial gains from the 400 in a non mag, compared to the 200?

Oh yes. Big gains. You don't even need upgraded valve springs with the 400 either. The comp 400 has more lift, more overlap, it's a harder cam.

ill try and sell the 200 for some cash. they get the 400.

id rather what to get something better, than do it twice.

because by that time i plain on having the AMM manifold. so it would reap better benefits with the 400 than 200

Posted: **Sat Aug 22, 2009 10:32 pm**

yeh same here ill wait and try to find a 400 even though i can get that 200 for cheap as hell

Posted: **Wed Sep 09, 2009 5:56 pm**

i have the 200 installed in my 05'. Its a nice cam,but i still kick myself for not gettin the 400. If your gonna buy a cam get the 400 FORSURE!!

eh i'm not a huge fan of ebay i have gotten some stuff off their don't get me wrong but a yeah i'll pay the few extra buck and buy from someone that's been in business for ever instead of someone in china. especially when it comes to my motor

Posted: **Fri Sep 11, 2009 7:20 am**

And try getting a 90 day "Hand Shake" garantee from ebay.

Not kissing Summit or anything, but it is much easier than returnng some stuff on ebay, some ebay companies are pretty decent too tho. You just have to do a bit of research on return policies, and feedback.
IDK if any of them would accept a return as long as 90 days tho.

Posted: **Fri Sep 11, 2009 1:51 pm**

yeah i by electronics off ebay motor stuff i'll pay a lil extra for the peace of mind

Posted: **Fri Sep 11, 2009 2:14 pm**

Regardless where you got it,post up a video(soundclip) of the cam after install

There's a great write up on how to install it on here,that's what I used to install mine

GONZO-

Make sure you use the correct timming mark and don't make the same mistake i made with the fidanza

. Also you will have to cut a moon shape out of the timming belt cover so that u will be able to tune and use the gear. Not to mention that if you don't cut away part of the timing cover the fidanza will eat away at it anyway.

Posted: **Sat Sep 12, 2009 3:02 am**

anychance you gotta pic of where i need to cut or will it be obvious where it should be?

Posted: **Sat Sep 12, 2009 7:29 pm**

it will be kinda of obvious, the slot adjusting screws on the cam gear are in the way plus you want to be able to tune the came gear and if you were to look at your car now obviously you can't see the cam gear with the cover on so you will have to cut it so that you will be able to tune it for the future.

Posted: **Sat Sep 12, 2009 11:59 pm**

ok thanks

Posted: **Thu Sep 17, 2009 12:37 pm**

can u just install the 400 without a adjustable cam gear? i have a 00 with a 99 block im rebuilding. will this be just a plug and play type thing?

Posted: **Thu Sep 17, 2009 1:50 pm**

yes. you dont need an adjustable cam gear to put the 400 in your car. i have the 400 and dont have an adjustable cam gear

you look to have a 00. was it a big performance increase? noticeable?

Posted: **Thu Sep 17, 2009 2:09 pm**

the only reason why i'm doing the cam gear is i plan on either going turbo or nitrous and it will be easier to set the timing
