Not yet, in my opinion you would be better putting it on cams.

My opinion of course.

Cams? Really? I wouldn't see gains like you do with an rs2 though and the rs2 runs best with standard cams.what kind of gains would you expect from cams and which are best? Not something I've looked into yet.

Thought they were about the same both torque and power? :S

Cams come in one whole lump of power at the top end of the rev range, the rs2 give more usualable for throughout the entire rev range

As said the power gains overall isnt much different, and im aware the RS2's power is more usable.

But with cams if you get bored and want to progress down the N/a tuning route into itb's you can. With the RS2 it has been proved it doesnt work well with aftermarket cams.

There is several threads on here about itbs vs rs2 and cams vs rs2 etc. I dont want to turn this into one of those threads, but thought id suggest it as an alternative

All depends on the profile
