i have the impression he's going to spend about 1000 bucks max...Tylerb59 said:Oh and you have press on sprockets, and those tools (so you don't have to take off your pullies and timing cover) only work for the Romeo engines (96-98, 01-04) with bolt on sprockets.
With that said, doing cams in your car will be a bit more time consuming, make sure you really want those ... and a good set of springs before you go buying them anytime soon.
Personally, I'd invest in a 4v shortblock and over time build that up instead of wasting your time with a meager 2v.
might sound crazy, but why not get an NX kit instead? i think it'll provide more push for the money...Tylerb59 said:Right.
Cams are great, but one thing leads to another and pretty soon you've spent all this money on a somewhat mediocore engine.
You'll have some decent power, sure, but for not much more you can have a LOT more power which would be much more reliable (forged parts) by starting with a 4v shortblock.
Of course the ultimate bling is to buy a ready built crate engine, but where is the fun in that.
Tylerb59 said:Yea.
Of course it's the fastest way to a 4v.
After you blow your 2v you're forced to buy a 4v.
so do you think you can install some blower cams for me? i mean you have a 5.0 and all and you guys only have 1 cam... not that that's a bad thing, but us 4.6 guys have 2...TheRedBlur said:oheyah, my machinist aint some dumb hick, he's been awarded best mechanic by the NHRA for two years in a row, and Edelbrock used to send him prototype manifolds for racing, he'd port them and say "I like 'em better this way" then edelbrock would sell them that way as the performer, etc.
