i am tihnking about getting cams and i was wondering how much instalation is on cams and where is the cheepest place to get cams from?

[GTsetGO]

what are you looking to do. I got my custom grind cams from www.flowtechinduction.com

[Cantbeatblack]

i just want some kinda of mild cam that will give me like 30 or 40 hp and shound mean as shit

the price for cams is actually pretty reasonable... b/t 380-580 depending on the brand (you get wat you pay for). But installation is gonna MURDER your bank brotha. Looking at around 1,000-1,500. Just read up and do em your self if your confident enough.

I'm being a hypocrit though b/c i'm not to the stage where i want to be taking my engine apart lol. so.... to me i would make good friends with a guy that knows his engine stuff, and have him help you, pay or not.

i paid my mechanic friend 1000 to do my cams, nitrous and gears install

[mustangmanic]

also... if you're doing cams and you can find someone that will help you do it themselves, go ahead any buy heads, its most def worth it.

Actually, PM AcMiller about that. Thats his speciality and if you're willing to drive down to tampa, he'll hook you up real good with a cam & head with an install. He's stuff is top notch.

wheres good sits to look for them so i can c the differnt prices

[mustangmanic]

Try modularpowerhouse.com

[mustangmanic]

ebay is also very good... but its only on occasion that they ever have a 2v 4.6L modular PI cam

[the real shocker]

dont expect a huge lope difference with cams for our cars.. which will work to your benefit... because if someone is not really listening for it, they will never know you anything stage 2 or smaller

VT & Comp are both good places to check for Heads & Cams. Also check in with AC, but he might be busy.

+1, i have cams in my car and you can't even really tell. i get a lobe sound only when it idles at certain rpm's.

ask chrisj, he has heard it and it is a great sleeper. 45 hp from the cams and it sounds stock.

vt stage 2 gives a nice lope, but you need new springs and should get headwork

[03TropicGt]

GTsetGO what kind of cams do you have??

[acmillr]

Comp 270's sound great. You can def. hear the difference. Where do you live?

[acmillr]

Comp 270's.......... (just for the record)

damn those do hit hard

for the record... i wasnt implying that you CANT tell a difference, but that cams in our cars arent going to sound as drastic as say going from stock to a cam swap in a F-Body... its usually a dead give away when someone has done a cam swap in them

Where is a good place to oder some comp 270s if i remmber correctly you dont need to change springs with them or was it you dont have to worry about PTV contact.

[acmillr]

You need to change springs and valves IMO.
