Nope, I bought the rims for the looks. They should be about the same weight as the stock 5 spokes. But I do like to cut weight when possible. Makes the car feel different when just driving down the road.

Saw that there are cams that I could use with stock valves and springs. Incredibly tempting since the ls9 cam is super cheap. Installing it doesn't seem bad either and with a tune I'd get a power band all the way to redline.

I would never do a cam change without changing valves and springs.

Yeah after seeing other dyno charts of cars with the cam installed it looks like you lose 20 ft lbs down low so I will probably avoid it. Want to keep the torque down there
