Message	If I were to pull my engine for something unrelated, would it be worthwhile to swap in 5 speed cams and turbo housings on my engine to replace the auto cams and turbo housings I have now? FWIW, I already have 2 sets of 5 speed cams, and a pair of 5-speed turbos. The auto turbos are in better shape though, so I don't want to swap the entire turbos. Or is the gain minimal, and I'm just asking for more trouble than it's worth? Thanks, Mike --------------------------------------------------------
