I need to replace the cam in my 86GT, one of the lifters developed a flat spot on the roller and the cam has a damaged lobe corresponding with the lifter. The engine is internally stock with high miles, but it runs strong and doesn't smoke (it still traps at 95mph in the 1/4 with the 2.73 grs and a best 60' of 2.33). For now, I want to replace only the cam and components to get the car going.
I'm looking for a good replacement SD friendly cam that requires none/minimal tuning and won't cause any drivability issues/minimal loss in fuel economy. Power gains are the least of my concern, however I don't want a power loss. I've read that Crower makes a nice peice, but 350 bones is more than I want to spend on a cam right now. Will this cam work-- http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=CRN-364211&autoview=sku
Also, can I replace just the one lifter and be good to go? The other 15 are in very good shape.
Any ideas/suggestions and advice are welcome. Thanks for your time.
