Engine strain

[RedDaemon]

hey guys im lookin at cams as my next mod...this isnt a "what one should i get?" thread cuz im not a tard..anyway im just wary on getting cams...or any other bolt on for that matter that increases HP and it having negative side effects on my engine...its a 99 GT with 76K on it....not much else done to it...just a mid pipe and catback...im afraid of putting too much stress on it? or should i not worry about it? i dont go to the track or beat on the thing a.k.a never taken her over 5k rpms

most cams are built to use higher rpm so I dont think you want cams

vt stage II cams seem to do great for the average street car... check with the guys at modulardepot.com

well i was actually thinking of getting the VT I cams since im not going to have a blower anytime soon....at least with this engine and i dont need the stage IIs with my lack of mods....should i do intake and TB THEN cams?...if i have money for them after the TB and intake lolol

I wanna do cams, I hear it's one of the best/easiest mods you can do. But I'm doing mine after a new TB and plenum with our cars do we have to worry about valve springs, timing, or anything else when installing stage 1 or stage 2 cams? Because cams don't seem that expensive otherwise.

you would be a tard if you didnt get a tune after the install....i think im gunna install all 3 at the same time then head out to the dyno...thatd be a good plan
