to answer your 2nd question, i've fitted a set into mine and it's not hard. they are drop in you won't need to modify anything to get them to fit. that said it's obviously a fair bit of work to get to the point where the cams are out and they need to be installed properly.
here's what i did if it helps...

as for whether they make a marked difference, i couldn't tell you as i went from an rb20 to my built rb25 so have nothing to compare it against.
