any good cam combos for the cheap?

[Doug 97 gtp]

im looking to buy a cam but i know to get the most out of it i would need rockes and springs. are there any good cams the run well fwith stock heads and tune?

Vs cam and no you use the stock rockers with almost any cam unless you want higher lift that usually requires head work

 

[REDCRAPGP]

Valve springs are recommended with every cam

XP is a good cam with stock heads as well as the s1x cam.
VS isnt a bad cam but you get more out of the other two i listed.
stock rockers are the best and is what most people use on cam builds.
on any cam build, youll need springs. youll need a tune with any of these upgrades.

VS is the only cam you can run with a stock tune..I guess you guys forgot his requirements of course it'll benefit you more with a tune

You don't need a tune for a cam. Yeah sure it will run better, but no where have I ever read anything saying that you need to tune after installing a cam.

Can a XP cam run off stock tune?

what about a blower is3 cam? ive heard a couple of those and they sound pretty mean. i just want a lopey cam.

 

[REDCRAPGP]

That's definitely going to need heads workI believe that's a big cam

Can a XP cam run off stock tune?

Yes it can unless unless you get 42 pound injectors then you'll need a tune for the injectors. . But our stock tune is really good

 

[REDCRAPGP]

Hmm first time I heard that. Noting that one thanks

Yes you can you might set a P0300 code though.

You want that low idle sound.. an is3 will do that but like its stated above you'll need a head job.. or it'll crack the **** out of it.

 

[ctracer]

so you mean youre going to run stock shift points with cams that will benefit you from raising them?

 

[REDCRAPGP]

Is3 without head work will go boom lol you don't want that I'm sure.

 

[Slick2500]

ctracer I didnt say you shouldnt tune lol. Saying that you need a tune is like saying that if you order a hamburger you need ketchup.

 

[darionmilton]

↑↑↑↑↑ right... you can run without a tune.... but you shouldn't if you want to maximize hp

 

[Slick2500]

Even a stock car runs better with a tune.

ya i definetly dont want it to go boom again... which cam would be the best ? i plan on doing a tune for sure but down the road ill probably drop pulley size headers tstat and all that goodie stuff.

what is going on in this thread......the hell.....

first off, if you dont know your way around a motor you do not want to do a cam. because either youll **** something up, or youre gonna have to pay out the nose for someone else to install it. secondly, unless you want to spend ~$2500 you want a cam that'll run on stock heads (vs, xp, s1x). last, YOU NEED A TUNE 100%. you cannot get an off the shelf tune. you cannot run on the stock tune (except for driving to the tuner of your choice).

get your facts straight people. this thread has noob written all over it.
