both are good for daily driving... my JWT gain 20 rwhp... I'm seen Nismo cams 15-18 rwhp... the difference is that the JWT Cams have bigger Lift...

hope this help!

In my car and according to the dyno's we've run, the Nismos are the perfect street cam for a N/A car. You will get more low and mid range power where you drive your car the most. The JWT's have a bit less valve overlap so are great for the F/I set ups or for a N/A car that does a butt load of street racing in the upper RPM ranges. Don't take this as a rule... it's just been our experience so far.

My PERSONAL opinion... JWT Popcharger, light weight flywheel of some sort (not Nismo, JUN, JWT... too heavy) high flow cats, UD pulley, and an exhaust that sounds fun. Later depending on money... Nismo cams and headers with some ECU work thrown in. You can ask 100 people this question and no 2 will agree. BUT this is mine based on what we do and what I've seen and the smiles on peoples faces.....
