A few have cammed their 2.4L. IIRC there isn't much gain to be had when changing cams.

They gained 30 whp or something like that. The problem is almost everyone has had some pretty bad install issues or JBP never sent the cams.

intake,headers,dp,catback,cams with a good tune would put a 2.4 into the 200whp range. My guess would be 220 or so

It's a mixture of both. His car is done terribly and he whines about the meets not being in a parking garage all "Tokyo Drift Style" to be exact.

His tune he's running on it was horrible last time I've seen it. Nowhere near what it should be. Copson(who's a legit cammed 2.2) is much quicker and has a much more respectable car. Also he tire shines his engine bay and dash.
