    LOL stage 4 vendor heads for a trillion doll hairs.

    You must have money burning a hole in your pocket.

    And no, not a huge fan of the XPZ and it's lame specs.

    would you guys recommend running an IS3 cam over a XPZ?

    Weight reduction... you posting that video is completely irrelevant to this discussion.

    Dyno comparison sheets are the true facts for this.

    What it CAN do with plenty of platform know how and tons of time and tuning.

    No thanks.

    For that money, upgraded valve springs, intercooled Z3 kit, custom WB tune...faster car.

    The end.

    no.

    IS3 has more top end than an XPZ.

    You're making a street car right?

    So once again...we're going to turn this into

    ..a big supercharged setup is a waste of a couple thousand if not more..

    A simple turbo kit, will not only gain you the same numbers...but cost a lot less.

    Wut.

    It comes with $115 worth of pushrods.

    OP: You didn't state your goals, priorities, driving style, use for vehicle, etc etc etc etc etc. And once you have all of that, you should be able to make the decision for yourself.

    Either cam will work.

    Its like trying to decide between an XP or S1X.

    Unless you're going to go to the ends of the earth to try and make high 300's or low 400's, either will suffice.

    Personally I'd take the IS3 over the XPZ. I know people who daily drive both... neither are big enough to cause drivability issues. Although swapping out your current cam for a bigger one with heads isn't going to give you the kind of power increase you probably think it will. The IS1 cam is already a big jump over stock.

    Good luck with whatever you decide on!
