More cam probably won't do anything other than kill your low end unless you have the heads and intake to support it...just throwing that out there.

just lookin for a lil more thump. ive already pullin out the motor and having to separate everything so might as well try a diffrent cam to see the results.planing something big involving so non/na stuff so was wanting a nitrous freindly cam and if this actually is an f-303 i might leave it but, i dont belive it is.

Really need to think about combos before throwing $200-$300 cams in

tayzoid1 · 09-17-2009, 10:37 PM

well this is whats the deal is i cant afford to do everything at once i know i want a higher reving combo which is gonna mean taller intake than what i have(victor,funnelweb,ect,) i know the cam isnt going to help much.....right now. but, if i have the chance to do a good cam now why not.because im not just gonna throw a cam in and say...ok im done. i just cant afford to go buy everything to rebuild this motor buy al;uminum heads, better intake,nitrous, and everything lol or the car wouldnt have been sitting this long. thats all im saying i know the shorterm benifits arent that great. but, the long ones i can see turning out pretty good.....makin any sense?

I got a BIG solid roller (.690 lift) that'll give you that thump you want!

You have to consider that with the lumpy cam comes the springs to support it. Just putting a cam in that is pretty big the only thing is going to do is break springs and then drop a valve and motor is done for sure. I have a big crower Hydr roller. 522/542 lift and .250/.262 at .050 with a 114 lobe separation. This is for supercharger/Nitrous.

Do like most of us do. Figure out a combo you want. Buy the parts slowly and as they come in put them in a closet or in the corner of the garage until you have everything. Then assemble the new combo
