new idea..cams

[steveb24]

ok folks... forget that elec water pump stuff, im considering some cams, but im gonna need some help as far as down the road goes. if i install some stage 1 cams..like vt stg 1's or comp 262...and btw.. whats the best power gain cam i can install w/o doing valve springs...something about installing valvesprings in scaring me from all this talk about them... anyways, if i install some mild (i guess they would be) cams, how will that affect a possible blower down the road. would the cams support, hurt, or not do much in reaction to a procharger running 8 pounds of boost (probably going to be my setup..but who knows) ?? i dont want to spend 550 bux and a day installing cams if im going to be removing them later for something better, and i do need some more power now and dont have 4k, more like.. $400, as far as money to spend on the stang goes. also, forgive me for all the questions, but what else other than the cams themselves is needed to insall the cams? im talking parts, not tools, but a list of tools would help too..lol. thanks stangnet!

you would be better off getting stage 1 blower cams if you intend on going that route later.. you might not see as much gain right now.. maybe 25 or so.. but when the blowe goes in it will be a huge gain over without the cams.

seen as much as 50hp gained with stage 1 blower cams on a blown car.


N/A cams will bleed boost off and wont allow for the needed exhaust as much so it would actually hurt your power with the blower.

best bet if you plan on going blown.. blower cams now and eat the 10hp less.

When not just supercharge now, and d1ck with the cams later? That's what I would do...

ok.. sell me a blower for $500, then i will

and 01steeda.. what do you mean by, you might not see as much gain right now.. maybe 25 or so.. but when the blower goes in it will be a huge gain over without the cams.

and then ...blower cams now and eat the 10hp less.

so will i gain 25 or lose 10?

hes saying you will gain 25 now with the blower cams, but you could gain 35 with regular stage 1 cams, except the regular stage 1s might eat some horsepower once you finally get the blower. So you could get slightly less horsepower N/A with the blower cams, but get more once you get a blower.

i see..although i didnt think we gained (25 NA) that much from cams to begin with... cmon cam experts, help me out!
