What low end power?

None of the factory cams are aggressive enough to make much of a difference below 3000 rpm, but above about 3500 rpm you will feel the Euro S pulling harder. Euro S cams are not cheap, but a little less than a reweld and grind which is around $1k or so plus a core (I used an 80 for a core as I recall). I wouldn't spend the money without the heads and intake to take advantage of the hotter cam.

BTW I pretty sure I have a cam, but I want to put my hand on it and check the grind before I say for sure.
