They are stock cams out of the HO quad4 motors. More or less they are no longer made. You will have to find them on the internet or pull them yourself.

You have a 96, bummer. No HPTuning boost for you.

Frankly, I think the money is better spent elsewhere on a boosted engine, especially since you can't tune the PCM in your case. Changing out the cams radically alters VE, and lacking the ability to adjust for it can make for a poor-running result, at least as compared to the superb off-boost driveability that stock cams can offer.

We've put some powerful combos together with stock cams..everything from 10-second FWD street cars to 7-second street bikes!
