everyone with cams

nonojoe66 · 02-13-2007, 05:00 PM

everyone who has cams plz post what cams you have (brand and specs), what you like/dislike about them, any problems you had, other mods, hp/tq, and idle/rev/drive by videos would be awsome

VT stage 2's, no complaints or problems. Vids on my site. Current power is 269rwhp 281rwtq. Other good choices are Comp 262AH or 270's. Youll need new springs with the stage 2's and 270's, and Id degree them too.

nonojoe66 · 02-13-2007, 07:01 PM

yea im lookin at either the comp or vt probably if i do them, did you use your original timing gears?

nonojoe66 · 02-13-2007, 07:04 PM

how did the car run not tuned? do u recomend not driving it till its on a dyno?

*03gtmustang* · 02-13-2007, 07:14 PM

I didnt degree my cams. Comp has a 5* advance in theirs, so if you have the money, then def degree them. Otherwise go with VT stage 2's and youll be fine. I dont know of any good aftermarket gears right now. Just use the stockers and grind the keyway.

Driving it untuned was a bitch. I had to make sure I kept the idle up or else it would stall. The worst part is when it stalls while you're tuning. You wont mess anything up by driving it untuned, just dont go WOT, and get the tune ASAP.

Doesn't Comp Cams make an adjustable gear set now?

nonojoe66 · 02-13-2007, 07:47 PM

what do you mean by grinding the keyway? ps. sorry, is that better?

cool thanks for the warning, i was looking at either the patriots or comp cams valve springs, but i guess ill just go with the comp then

*03gtmustang* · 02-13-2007, 10:21 PM

Patriots parts suck, everyone in the world should know that by now, if not, then you havent done enough research. Comp springs are too much better then stock. You want Crower or Manley Nexteck springs.

Comp does have an adjustable gear, but its just like the shitty fidnanz (sp) ones.
