Cam or Clutch Suggestions
I'm doing some service to my 2008 base model. I have an oil leak and thought that I might as well add some modifications while I have it taken apart. I am at 120,00 miles so I plan on doing some basic maintenance. As well as thinking about a stage 1 or 2 cam from Texas Speed and a clutch kit. I am open to suggestions and would love some feedback on what y'all think. I'm fairly new to the car scene so I am learning as I go along. I want to hear advice and opinions from people before I rush into things and ruin what I have. Thank you.

Compare the dyno curves of the stage 1 and 2. You gain a little HP at the very top end of the curve with the 2. You also gain a bunch (10 degrees) of overlap to get that power. 12.5 degrees of overlap is a deal killer for me. You may like the buck, surge, and shake. I'd rather have a few less hp at the top end in exchange for decent manners.
