was thinking????
How benificial is a the festivamotorsports cam in an aspire considering you need parts from an 88 festy to make it work in a 97 aspire?
Is it worth the work to do this "upgrade"?

no need for 88-89 rockers, you can use any year Festy rocker with the FMS street cam (race cam may need the earlier rockers).Trees aren't kind to me...

Re: was thinking????
When I purchased the FMS street cam Roger advised that it should be run with the HLA rockers NOT the roller rockers of the Aspire nor the manually adjusted rockers of the early Festivas.

It depends on what you're after. The FMS cam will give you some extra HP.... How much depends on your set up. In a stock motor the gains will be minimal. If you port the head and add a free flowing exhaust (header or larger custom exhaust system) the gains will be greater. This is typical for any performance engine mod, be it a 4-cyl or big block V8. Your MPG will probably go down (more air flow=more fuel) as well. So, to answer your question;Originally posted by frankm201 View Post
IMO, I probably wouldn't install a cam on a 100% stock motor, unless I planned on doing supporting mods. It would be different if the stock cam was a poor grind and was holding back the potential of the rest of the motor, but in our case it's not. The roller design of the Aspire cam makes it even better if fuel efficiency is your goal.Brian

Made my gas mileage go to crap. Did notice more get up and go. I put the original back in. From what I've read, you need to re-work the head to do it right.Comment

I haven't had my B6 running long enough to experience it, other than amazing throttle response. From what those who have installed the cam with a ported head and exhaust claim, it really pulls hard from around 3000rpm+Brian
