http://www.srmotorsports.com/protege.htm

MazdaSpeed exhaust camshaft

MazdaSpeed exhaust camshaft . This cam adds up to 10 HP to the 2.0L motor. This Mazda cam has increased lift and also in duration .

Mazda Intake camshaft

Intake camshaft . Increased lift and also in duration . This intake camshaft adds up to 12 HP to the 2.0L motor .

one of my questions is do i need the springs too?
can i still add a turbo system later?
can my ECU handle it?

go for it! dress up your engine some too dude!, hell, if you arent planning on getting a turbo soon, get a header, and beef up your internals while at it

If it were me, I'd try and save up another $500 or so for a turbo kit, it's going to be the most noticible power gain for ~~$3k. Then later on you could worry about the cams... but then again, installation and accessories from a turbo kit can add up :(

If I were you I'd get a kick ass sound system, you could get a great one with less than 1500$...but what can I say?, I'm a car audio whore.

Like funkdaddysmack said, spend a bit more and get the Corky Bell's turbo system when it comes out. Money well spent.:)

ya thats what i think i'll do....should have enough money for it by x-mas

if my calculations are right the kit will cost $4193cdn and another 1200 for shipping and handling and installation

Don't get the exhaust... since you'll want to change it later if you get the turbo......

If you don't wanna get the turbo, then get the cams, exhaust and a header and some nice wheels.
