he i was just wondering is a mild, lumpy cam legan in qld cause i was gonna put mine in then my step dad (ex mechanic) says nah they r illegal, so i thought i should come on here and ask before i put it in, not like its gonna stop me putting it in, and how much more power do you get out of a cam. its a stage 2

I think that you will find that your car will only be legal if it still passes emision test. With a bigger cam, your car will be less efficient which will likely screw around with the amount of nasties leaving your exhaust pipe.
