I think it depends what you want the car for. Since I did all my mods, especially hybrid and cam, there is no real having fun on the street. The IHI and stock motor, cam, were a blast at stop lights. I don't even bother trying to beat anyone at a light anymore because the car is such a pig down low. Highway, of course, is different. Then again I do not have fattys or slicks, so if I rev, or use the 2 step, I only sit and spin. The IHI is a very responsive turbo, but, as you know, it has its limits.

it is probably the hardening wearing off.If you can feel a nice lip with your finger nail at the climax of the ramp on the lobe then i would replace the cam.
