CAM Question

Hi Guys,
First post, and it's a question for you.
Love my P5. So far, I haven't done much to it, Injen CAI, and MazdaSpeed Exhaust.
Want maybe another 10-25 horses ( more really, but I don't have the money for the FM P5 Turbo kit coming out ), and was looking into getting CAMS. I was looking at http://www.srmotorsports.com/protege.htm and they claim that the MazdaSpeed Intake and Exhaust CAMS add up to 22 horses for both.....

Anyone agree?? Disagree?? Have other sugestions??

Thnx in advance,

Patrique

Forgot

Also wondering about the High Comression Pistons?? Seem a bargain at $42.00 each. Any idea how much of a problem and price they would be to install??

Thnx

Not really sure how far I want to take it now. Don't have a short shifter, but when I put on my Momo boot and ****, I removed the extention. I'm okay really on the shifter thing, though I may get the Kartboy bushing.

Any idea how much the labor time is for the pistons and cams????

Thnx

Installing new pistons is going to be pretty expensive to have a shop do. I don't know the times on our cars but I would assume they will bill you about 7-10 hours for a job like that (at about $65 per hour). Plus any parts they may need that you don't provide.
