Crane 2031, Crane 2030 or TFS 1 are the most popular.

what exactly are you aiming for with your mods?
NA? Forced induction? Are you wanting a tough daily driver, or a weapon for the drags? If you want something thats still going to be a good "street" car, I would recommend the crane 2030 (if you have 1.6 rockers) or the 2031 (for 1.7 ratio rockers) I have the 2031 in my XR8 at present, its a nice baby cam. a little bit lumpy but not over the top.

I've opted for the Trickflow Track Heat Stage 1 cam
Apparently these will produce good low end power and will make just a tad more up top than it's crane competitors These are also designed for 1.6 RR's

What sort of extra power do the 8's get with a replacement cam?
185kw + V8's, for example... |

185kw + V8's, for example... AU V8's get great results with 220-240kw fairly common, more if you have a decent exhaust. E-series V8's won't get anywhere near that because of their restrictive heads and intake manifolds. As said the 2031/2030 or TFS1 cams are great options, and will normally keep the EEC happy. |

Thank you to all those people out there who gave advice!!!
I really appreciate it!!!! I have a standard twin system at present, i want to know which is better to replace it with, another twin system or maybe a single system, at the moment she is a bit quiet for my liking. |

if installing one of these mentioned cams 2030 / 2031 and are able to achieve around the 240 kw mark with the right exhaust and intake mods aswell as lifters and springs etc .
What can one achieve with changing both the injector size to say 24 and the throttle body to say 75 mm ? would i achieve around 250 kw and above or am i asking too much ? Im just curious as i sorta went a little overkill on exhaust size ( twin 2 1/2 with straight through cats and pacemaker tri y's ) . Was hoping the extra mods would suffice the extreme exhaust flow lol . |

185kw + V8's, for example... My stock 185kw XR8 made 139.5rwkw After adding 2030, springs, and YT RR's it made 161.5rwkw. After adding pacey 4-1 headers, XForce 2.5" cats, and 3" lukey cat back it made 170rwkw. Still running stock airbox, paper filter etc... |

Another cam to consider is the Crane 2020. It's recently been installed in my car, and is deliciously lumpy at idle and pulls extremely hard all the way from idle... I haven't had mine dynoed since the cam change, but another member on here reached 180 odd rwkw, with this cam and an edelbrock manifold with GT40P heads... and stock injectors.
