Yes, VT cams are a GREAT choice. What other mods do you have though?

VT cams will run you about $595, and I've seen install prices ranging from 300-600 dollars.

The labor costs will go come considerably once you add springs. The main difference between the stage 1 and 2 cams is the idle.

for a 98, use PI cams on top of PI heads sandwiching a PI intake... you'll be good for another 50hp. After that, you can drop a set of VT stage 1's and you'll be smokin' happy.

Install price for cams around here is usually at least 500-800 bucks. Springs are that much again on top of the cam install.

Camming high mile motor isn't bad if the motor still turns in good compression. Keep in mind it's a high mile motor, and expect to have larger repairs starting to come down the pipe as a matter of course, not necessarily related to your cam swap. Abusing a high mile motor is kinda silly.. so keep it reigned in.
