i know it sounds awesome, but seems like little hp gains from aftermarket cams...
just wondering some pros and cons of changing cams?
just wondering some pros and cons of changing cams?
A friend of mine bought some just for the sound. He has a Whipple 3.4 and stock ported heads.
He bought the Crane stage 2 kit. After 1000 miles a retainer broke and it took out the whole motor.
He found out that the springs that come with the kit were very poor and thats why it dropped a valve.
He only picked up like 30 HP running the Whipple 3.4 @ 21 psi.
For 30 HP and a chance of dropping a valve, I'll keep the stockers.
cams are the last thing I will do. I'm at 684 with a whipple 2.3L stock shortblock with 80k on the clock roughly. custom cams might yield me a significant gain. but unless your over 500, I wouldn't mess with them. also...if your over 500....do them either WITH long tubes, or install your longtubes first. I don't know what mods you have done....but I would think about it long and hard. if you do it. custom grinds only. and remember you get what you pay for....so don't skimp.
