The exhaust cam is the same. The intake cam is different and it gives you better high end power. On a higher HP engine it may be better to keep the 7M-GTE cams.

hes got that backwards. exhaust cams are the same, the intakes are different. the n/a has a high duration and on a turboed motor it shifts the power curve to the mid range.
