Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) is it worth it

[KBurgoyne]

i would like to have a garrett stage 3 turbo and 140 injectors but i have the stock camshaft, and i dont have the tools and or truthfully the skills to chang the cam, so with the stock i would have to go with the stg 2 and 90 hp injectors. i can do those myself and the stg 3 and 140 arent much more than the stg 2 and 90s, so is the cost of having the cam swapped worth going to the next power level or should i just stick with the mid level.

let me rephrase this. if you have installed an aftermarket cam, could you live with going back to the stock one or is the new one so good that it would drive you crazy to be without.
i realize that this question is screwy, but please humor me.

Glad I have it but could live without it.

I did not see any noticable difference in EGT or HP with the cam swap

i have the factory jake brake that will need to be removed to put in the new turbo. what all has to be removed besides the brake to get a clean swap.

I didn't know you could get a factory jake take on a 12v

yep, its a jacobs 3in. i only used it once to see if it worked. it does but i forgot to turn it off until i was at a stop coming off the freeway. when i turned it off, a plume of smoke came out and ****** off the guy behind me. anyway i dont have anything to tow and i wont miss it.
