I want to put pi cams in my none pi heads. I was thinking i might as well get some new cams and if i am going to do that would it be a good idea to get something above stock? I would like to do a turbo or two down the road but need to get everything else up to the task first. I would like a cam that would have some balls to it but still be able to drive it this is my dd. I am doing a pi intake and coils wires at the same time.

go pi cams, dont put big money into cams unless your getting pi heads too.

+1, like i stated in the other post, go PI heads if you want more aggressive cams, otherwise just stick with the PI cams

From what i read if i plain to do a turbo or blower i should stay away from the pi heads due to the high compression?

Yea, otherwise you will have to run super low boost on the turbo or S/c

What id the n/a maen in VT / CMS stage 2 n/a cams

[ColdSteel]

n/a means naturally aspirated.

if you want cams, and plan on running boost later, get blower cams.

go with pi cams... great mod for the money.. (i got mine for $10) for 10-15 hp gain...not bad not bad

[86ttops]

Who did you steal them from for $10? i went to the local wrecking yards and they have nothing that they are willing to part with other then a 5.4 for $1200

[MikeD05GT]

ebay...craigslist...they are out there man..some people just dont know what they are...i got mine from a friend who had a few sets...

[ColdSteel]

a wrecking yard wouldent sell you something? that bull---- i get so mad when they do that. its just going to sit and rust if they dont sell it.

so untrue

u can run up to 12-14 lbs of boost with a great tune and not have any issues....... 12lbs of boost is good for 100rwhp if u have the full pi swap done.

personally, i don't use the heads because i mod my car on a budget, and the cam offer was pmed to me and i it was an impulse buy that i do not regret.

u can find pi cams all over the place if u look hard enough..... throw up a listing in engine section, pay attention to who's putting cams in and see if they want to sell u urs.

i think i paid like 120 shipped for mine, 18 months ago.

[86ttops]

They will sell it but they want to sell the whole motor.

[86ttops]

So wouldn't it be worth it to drop a little more money and go with a stage 2 cam over stock on the non pi heads?

I just came across a guy here in town that custom builds chips and tunes cars so that may be of some help down the road,
