thats what i meant.Pro Mod said:the Comp Cams still work with the VCT, but you still have to remove & reinstall the VCT stuff to get the cams on.

and theres another one floating around of a yellow Gt that i just cant find which makes me mad. but o well you get the idea. Stage II BBk cams sound pretty amazing on these cars. but how much work must they be to install my gosh. and would heads need to be replaced?
I had a local guy do it since I don't mess with the internals. He said it was quite a challenge. Didn't get into specifics.Pro Mod said:stlwagon, did you do the cam install or take it to a shop? I've helped with a cam swap in a 2V, but what does the VCT add to the complexity of swapping the cams? Did you see a noticeable difference in power with the Stage 1 cams?
stlwagon said:I did the stage 1 cams a few weeks back. Not too agressive but sound nice.
BBR uses their own cams which are reground stock cams. they may finally have billet cores that have made their way into production. i have not followed BBR since their false cam claims a while back.GTRacerX said:Is Blow by Racing using Comp Cams? There vid sounds violent !!!!
Those #s were right after I had the cams & LTs done. Adding the LTs really threw off my A/F so I was still running a bit lean. I think my numbers might be a little higher now but I haven't dyno'd it again yet.creedog said:Ok, can you give us some more details? Do you have a video? Increased hp/tq #'s if available? Tuning,what about tuning? Any tuning issues or concerns?
Ok, I just read your final hp/tq #'s on your sig. Nice
Purchased from RPMOutlet and had a local mechanic/speed shop do the work. Didn't do the springs. It is required for the stage 2-4 cams.Pro Mod said:stlwagon, did you buy the cams somewhere and then take them to the shop; or did you buy the whole setup from the shop? I'm trying to find the cheapest place to guy a set of those cams & valvesprings.
