Cam Sound Change (opinions/recomendations)

alright, don't get pissy at me...but I do have a cam question. I've done my homework and I know what I want and what I need to get it done. I'm probably going to place an order for some VT Stage 2 cams within a week unless my mechanic does it for me. I've been doing searches but I still can't really find the answer that I'm looking for. I'm getting new cams simply cuz headers and cams are the last things on my list, and I think I'll wait for headers in the summer (yes I debated waiting and doing them at the same time). Still, I wanna know if the sound of my engine is going to change dramatically with the new cams. I wasn't pleased with the addition of my prochamber (w/ cats), but that's just me. I'm trying to remedy that with the performance and sound of new cams. Everyone says the lobe on the VT II's is great, but am I going to be dissapointed? Somebody please chime in and give me a confidence booster or my doubt might get the best of me.

....As a side note....I'm now a big supporter of the 'Demolet' CAI. John Demolet is a great guy and he'll give you some great deals if you talk with him.
 
the only real difference in the cams between stg 1 and 2 is that stg 2 are lopier and get 10hp more at peak. The stg 1 dont sacrifice any low end power for up top power like the stg 2 do but if you have gears dont even worry about. But you wont be dissapointed with them :nice:
 
You guys have convinced me....i'll probably get some headers on order with the cams/springs. I gotta go shorty though becuz i'm too low to the ground for long tubes. I guess I'm willing to sacrifice a little power for the curve handling and looks
 
OK....I've been doing some more searches and I have one last question regarding the comments that everyone has made. It seems like the concensus is to get headers done with/before cams. Still, I have my car lowered a lot, and I like the ride height...I love it. My prochamber hits on just about any small speed bump, but it doesn't have any real damage. So...if I get headers, i'm still going to stay shorty (BBK Tuned Shorties) 'cuz I know the long tubes would drag with a 2 1/2" drop. Is the Header still worth it with a shorty. Or should I switch my cams to the VT Stage 1. Opinions?

anything over the stock manifold would be better IMHO
 
yea, i think the best shorty headers to get are the FRPPs. the stock manifolds are ok, theyre better than a lot of other stock manifolds, but they can be better and i wou,ld suggest them over stock when getting cammed
