Will help but money but gains will be minimal without head work. And if you get a ported head down the road a better set of cams would probably provide more gains. I would save the money for head work.

Remember you can get into mid-high 10's on stock cams and some head work.

Ok even of I'm going a bigger turbo in a few months not worth it?

Personally would just stick with stock cams. Save that money for a head in the future. I'm not saying you wouldn't see gains with those cams, but the would be minimal. And to get the most out of them you going to have to get adjustable cam gears, so theres more $ into the equation. Really its all up to you if want to be able to say the cars cammed and have a slight lope to the idle then go for it.

If your only looking for around 425 with the 5858 take that $ and put towards a meth kit and make your engine live a happier life.

Example a local this past saturday went 10.8 ported head stock cams on 110RG. Which is just barely what the car has in it.
