=========================
i had 's' cams about a year prior to ecu/afm upgrade, & while i noticed the same
things ewe did - better power above 3.5k, w/not too much loss below, i *know* if
someone had snuck into my garage & done this in the wee hours, i would *not*
have known the difference the next morning.  i was *not* disappointed, cuz i
needed cams anyway - i was *not* replacing perfectly good cams...

HOWEVER - when i later did the ecu/afm upgrade (together), the change was *wery*
noticeable - an OUTSTANDING improvement!  :>)  zamani, start saving!
