cam help

ive been reading up on cams lately, and they look like a better investment than rockers. i was looking at the gt1 and gt2 cam. with the gt1 could i just put this in with no aftermarket pushrods, or springs (i would most likely put 90 or 105 springs in anyway)???? Also if i go w/ the gt2 cam what supporting mods would i need to run that? got about $100 in the gp fund, so im only a few hundred away, and i start my second job( paid realestate interenship next week) so thats all cam and moding money!!!!!!!!

The 105 springs are a good bet. The cam will give more power than the rockers, but the rockers can be done by yourself in an evening with a case of beer. The cam is at least 18+ hours and you'll need help. GT1 cams generally won't set an engine code where the gt2 cam will. To have the cam installed will cost you at least $500 to have some one do it. Also if you later want to upgrade to a turbo kit, the after market cam does not play well with them. Do you drive a GTP or a GT? That also comes into play.

i got a gt, and i dont think ide go to a turbo kit in the near future. Do you know anyone in the milwaukee,wi area that does cams?

You might want to try one of these.This is from the Intense site and they say that the price for a cam install is 500 bucks (plus materials plus sales tax)



Please email [email protected] or [email protected] for all installations in Wisconsin, specializing in L67-swaps.

What the guy above this said, and one other thing: Your engine will suffer more wear and tear with the cam. But you gotta pay to play ....

how much will this hurt my engine if i put a cam in? Because this is my daily driver, so i need it to stay around for a while.

It depends on how hard you thrash the engine after you do the install.

well it looks like im lookin at 1000 or so for a cam set up instaled. maybe i should just save a few more thousand and do a l67 swap or a turbo. whats the best overall turbo kit out??
