Comp XE270HR, Crane 2031, TFS1, Crow 621371... All work well with mild modifications.

If you're worried about fuel economy leave the standard cam & retune the ecu.

I have the TFS1, and love it.

Sounds tough on idle. A little boggy down low, but really comes on at 2800-3000rpm. Need to tune ECU to make the most of it though.

With my 6 speed and 3.73 gears, I average 10.4L/100 with an average weight in the back.
