everyone with cams
 

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.

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

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

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?

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

VT stage 2's umm havent realy driven it yet but it can idle pretty good until u rev it then u have 2 keep it running......... while its not tuned yet.....drove it up and down my street thats bout it no complaints

i have a set of crower stg 2 cams an they have a lift of about 580 slightly higher than the vt stg 2s i think their at like 560 i love the cams i bought the vt2 are very good also from wat ihear but just DONT BUY PATRIOT VALVE SPRINGS im currently sueing patriot performance cuz one of their valve springs was defective an snapped in half and ****ed my whole motor pistons burnt valves i think u get the drift an they were professionally installed etc etc so also i bought moto blue cam gears and they work pretty nice i got them from rpmoutlet.com

wow that sounds badass... u have headers?
also where did you get those louvers on ur back window? i think those would look good on my car

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

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.

VT Stage 2 N/A's here.. love them, no problems.

296 rwhp / 310 rwtq

wow that dyno sheet looks awsome, i might copy your car lol do you have long tubes?

she has slp longtubes and un catted x pipe

yea im pretty much between saving a little and getting the mongoose s-trim kit and doing that with a small shot of nitrous

[QUOTE=nonojoe66;246470]
no headers yet just mac offroad h and flowmaster 40's

i ordered my louvers thru a shop around my house but just google astra louvers and you should b able to find them there like 200-250

hope your engine is built for that. otherwise that sh!t is gonna blow a rod through your hood

no no i meant cams + nitrous or sell nitrous and put the money twords the charger lol
