Hey guys, i wanna put a camshaft in my GT : my mods that are currently on my fox are all listed in my sig...

How big of a lift can i get that'll have no clearance issues once installed, i'm looking to get that idle jump when the car is idling and the rpm's go from like 700--800 and jump to like 1400-1500, would i be able to accomplish this or no? .....

THANKS
Stan

I wouldn't bother with a cam. I've tried it with stock heads, and so have alot of people. It does little to nothing. Wait until you buy heads.
Buy a pro m meter, or intake or something on the top of the engine.

Agree'd, buy a set of heads first. Installing a cam just for the sound is pointless, trust me, you'd be happier if you bought heads first.

Again don't bother with it. The stock cam is actually a nice cam IMO, and can pull with a good deal of mods. Just be patient and spend your time and money elsewhere.
