One third the price to renew, better torque from 2000-4000 rpm, smaller emissions, better idle and lower consumption. Seems that what you gain with a CVH35 above 4000rpm you lose as much below it. So for a everyday car I wouldn't advice a wild cam. I milder cam like CVH 31 would be ok, but being so close to a standard one and still three times the price, I wouldn't bother. So the cam I'll get for the other motor I'm building, will be a standard one as oppised to the CVH 35 I have in my Onion..
