My engine offers two factory cams... the "95" version and the 96+ version. The 95 is known to be a bit more aggressive and gains ~4 horsies. The difference in the intake lobe, exhaust is the same. I originally tried to get my hands on a 96+ cam before rebuilding, but time wasn't on my side. Now, I'm considering swapping one out, if I should stumble upon one again.
Here is the difference in specs for those gear heads who would be able to use this information:
So I guess the question is this: Is there any noticeable gains in going back to the original cam? Getting the cam and the effort to swap them isn't the issue... I just don't know if any MPGs can be had from this swap. The original reason they changed the cams after 95 was to give better idle quality (so I've read). Since I draw the line of my knowledge with these cams, I figured it would be worth asking you guys.
