Yup. Tech said it. They're more aggressive. Especially when you have a heavily modified engine, the overlap (which is absent in the T5 cams, but normal of the NA cams) can benefit the motor. From reading some of the first before/afters of the NA cam swap on VS, if you advance the cams a couple degrees, it will give you a more even power band. This is coming form someone who put NA cams on their motor paired with a GT35. They said there was no waiting for boost anymore because they had the low end power, which is what I'm looking for since I'll be running the 19T.
Oh and I was reading the updates on VS and when you are ready to put the cams in let me know. I will walk you through it. As long as you do not remove the pulleys it is cake.
You WILL NOT need the cam lock tool to put it together.
I love some of the misinformation from there.
Also you will need to get the 5 spark plug o-rings when going back together so there is no oil leaking into the spark plugs.

From what I understand, I just want to make sure the crank is at TDC before I remove the valve cover.

Make sure all the marks are lined up like they should be. If the belt has already been removed and marks not lined up you can still get them to all line up. But you have to be very careful doing it but it can easily be done.
I have done atleast 50 850 or 960 heads without using the cam lock tool.
Lately we are averaging about 1 head every 2 weeks.

I have a timing belt kit coming from FCP that should be here this week, so I'm going to put on the timing belt and line it up with that to avoid damage. I look forward to some help though, a lot of people are telling me not to do it and what not if I've never done it before. I don't get why, I think the best way to learn how to do it, is just to do it.

Yeah, I'll see how I like the intake, I was going to make my own cold air intake but I'm getting this ipd intake for really cheap, so I figured I'd get it and give it a go.

there's a few write ups on VS on how to do a sealed intake. If I move my battery, I will most likely turn it 90* compared to where it is now. That will free up a lot of room, also give me a bit more space to run intercooler piping I think for the front mount.
