cams
I am looking at maybe purchasing some long tube headers along with some hitech stage two cams. I have a couple questions.
The hitech website says the stage 2 cams dont need new springs, if theyre not required then is there any good reason as to still purchasing them? Also, I know I will need a new tune after having the longtubes and cams installed. Can this still be done via an email tune or must it be a dyno tune? Lastly, do I need a new intake or is the stock one ok? |
I personally would spend the money get a true Dyno tune. While it is apart get the springs they aren't that expensive. The stock intake will work I changed mine because a buddy gave me a Typhoon.
|
But doesn't the new intake help with the higher RPM range. Cause the stock one doesn't handle higher RPMs well, or am I mistaken there?
I also agree with putting the springs in while it's apart, and getting a dyno tune. If you're spending money for power then a dyno tune is much better than just the cams themselves. E-mail tunes CAN work but it'll require you to have a dyno run anyways so they know the AF ratio and etc. so just get a dyno-tune. |
An emailed tune isn't going to fix the idle issues and stall issues your going to have. Get a dyno tune. If they say you don't need springs save the money and get that dyno tune.

The total combination will rise the power band a good intake would help but the stock will get him by the Dyno tune is most important. I say get the springs with any kind of mileage and the higher rpms it can't hurt. I did my cams and long tubes and intake all at once trailered the car to Dyno shop and boy around 3,800 or so it got scary for a n/a car.

Well, I have been reading about the hitech stage 2's and many people are not using springs on them and haven't had any problems. I was just looking for a different reason besides "just do it to be safe".
Thank you for the replies, answered a few questions for me. |
