Ordered some cams! Have a few questions

PapaSmurf · June 27th, 2009, 09:51 AM

Well i finally ordered some cams for the GT. I went with the HiTech stage 2's and also got a pair of manly nextek springs. These should work very well with my nitrous setup but i have a couple questions.

Am I going to have to upgrade to larger injectors or will my stockers be enough? I was thinking of some 30lb. Im going to upgrade my fuel pump to a single GT supercar pump but im just unsure on the injectors. Im currently running a 100 shot but will most likely up the shot to a 125 or 150. Also what is the normal cost of a cam instalation? Thanks guys

That would not have been my first choice in cams esp. with the 150 shot. the Hi-techs, iirc, favor the intake (more lift and dur.) which with nitrous I would assume you would favor the exh. cms stage 2 n/a cams would have been a better choice imho.

I would put bigger inj in. cam install I heard can be from $800 to $1100 with springs and no tune

PapaSmurf · June 27th, 2009, 01:26 PM

Thats what i was thinking. Thanks for confirming the injectors.

Both the hitechs and cms do well with the nitrous. The intake side on our heads is already big and going with the cms would make it even bigger.

wanna buy me some cams caleb?

Can't wait to hear it when it's all said and done, and see how it does out on the track. I should have a few things done to the Termi by then...I'm used to the power, and need more. Damn you boost...damn you.

When do you get back man?

LOL! If i were you id be getting some pulleys from billetflow to up the boost. The GT is gonna be a different car with the cams, especially with some added spray.

I wont be back until winter. Before christmas though

Cricket · June 27th, 2009, 04:14 PM

Yeah, I'm about to beef up the irs a little bit, then a pulley with idler/auxillery pulleys, tune, cat back exhaust, JLT RAI...once I figure out midpipe, and headers I want I'll get them, but I think that will be a good start.

I'll give ya that ride in the Termi when ya get back man. I will want a ride in the GT though with all your goodies your getting.

injectors are fine, they will hold enough. if you do head work as well, then you will need to start shopping for them.

the hi techs do not favor the intake, the cam is well balanced. there is finally a cam manufacture that made a logical cam. the exhaust side out flows the intake side in a pretty bad way.

the hitechs actualily put down better numbers on spray than the cms stage 2's

zerofx150 · June 28th, 2009, 01:18 AM

Scott2001GT · June 28th, 2009, 01:27 AM

Double0Fox · June 28th, 2009, 02:06 AM

+1 Next thing going in is Hi-Tech Stage 2's, so let me know how you like them.

I was talking to JayC on here about the cms stage 2's for awhile because thats what he is running and he told me he put down 394/497 on his 100 shot. I also talked to Casey on here (Sweet35th) about there cams and a 100 shot and he posted a dynograph HiTech stg2 cams. The car put down 408/530.

Trevor04GT · June 28th, 2009, 04:11 AM

I cant see why people still think there are better cams out there than the HiTechs. I dont know, maybe I'm wrong, but for my daily driven to college everyday GT, my car seems to run pretty well with the HiTechs. I just could not imagine a more perfect cam choice for a stock head/bolton GT. The CMS/VTs may do better with a built motor and heads, but shit, the HiTechs are built for cars just like mine, Calebs, and any other GT running around with intake/exhaust.

With that being said, get a Focus pump and be done. Your injectors will be fine for a while. The pump will prolly be an issue. The focus one is a drop in basically. Very easy.

Good luck Caleb, I cant wait to see what your baby runs.

PapaSmurf · June 28th, 2009, 07:40 AM

Thanks Trevor!

+1 for HiTech, one of the best choices I ever made on my car!

A couple of things aren't right though. Note the jets weren't the NX recommended 52/33 for a 100 shot.
" 04 GT full bolt ons, long tubes, Hitech stage 2 cams, and NX with modified jet sizes to get 100rwhp out of the shot."

Also my dyno was a SuperFlow not the more "friendly" DynoJet. I'll stick with my CMS but I'm sure the Hi-Techs will be an awesome cam for you too.

momogt · July 1st, 2009, 11:58 AM

how much hp/tq will the hi tech stage 2 cam give a stock gt with basic bolt on,s and i have a automatic will i need a stall for that cam
