Help me choose... April 23, 2007, 11:00:07 AM I've been saving to get Forza Motorsport 2 ($65) for my Xbox 360 but now I have a chance to buy a Comp XE270HR-14 cam for $150... Which would go real nice with the Twisted Wedge heads I have collecting dust in my closet.So on the one hand I could get the game when it comes out in a few weeks and enjoy it now or buy the cam and maybe not get to install it for a few months while I save for gaskets and pushrods and stuff.So I'm torn... I want both but I cant have both:mad:I guess there is the additional consideration that when I install the TW heads I'll try and sell the aluminum GT-40's for $500... Its just the initial out of pocket expense that limits me to one or the other. Quote Selected

Reply #4 – April 23, 2007, 12:04:13 PM Put it this way...If you wait to buy the game say for five months, the cost may drop to 50ish or you could get a less-expensive used copy.Now if you wait to buy the cam for a few months, the cost isn't going to drop. It is still going to be $150.Get the cam. Quote Selected

The only reason the xe270hr is an option is because it's such a good deal and fits the rest of my combo so well. It seems to be the right cam at the right price.But I still want Forza 2!

But then I'll have to decide between Ace Combat 6 and Forza 2... It just never ends! It sucks to be poor! Quote Selected

Reply #9 – April 23, 2007, 04:43:19 PM I already have my copy of forza 2 reserved, buy the cam it is very likely that forza will be pushed back another month as it has already been pushed back from its previous 2 dates of release. By the time the game actually drops you will have rebuilt the funds needed for the game. when you get the game send me an invite my sn is Senninkai.Full FMS2 Car list Quote Selected

In the video game you dont get dirty tuning the car, you can race it whenever you want with up to 8 other people from around the globe, if you crash... no biggie, and gas is free! lol...But seriously, I am leaning toward the cam.Oh yeah, I'm 41... BTW, for anyone here with xbox live I go by dogcharmer69. I play PGR3 alot. Quote Selected
