New cams or not?

[Johnlas]

The thought of a new set of cams has been washing around in my head for quite some time now. I have done a little research on a few sites and have noticed that there are some decent n/a gains to be had with a cam swap. From what I have seen everyone has something great to say about the VT cams....not so much great about the comp cams. Well anyway, what stage cam should I get? I currently have long tubes and some 4:10 gears along with a few suspension tweeks on my 01 gt. Is it a waste to go stage one? or will I have to upgrade much more than the valve springs if I go stage two? Just trying to get a little insite as to what I would be getting myself into if I do go stage 2, and any information provided will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks -ryan

i think i read somewhere that you have to upgrade the valve springs for the stage 2 cams. but since you're gonna have the heads off you might as well get them ported too.

VT Billet 2V Cams Stage II $569.99

These cam's were designed for a more aggressive N/A engine. More lift on both sides of the cam, and more duration on the exhaust add up to huge power gains when combined with Stage II heads. Over 100hp/100tq gain over stock PI heads and cams when used with Stage II heads. Don't think they won't gain power on their own, these cam's are wicked. Should easily add over 60hp and 75lb's of tq peak over stock PI's. VT Valve Springs highly recommended! Specs: 560/575 lift 225/235 duration @.050 108/108 centerline
