stage 1 cams

[mineralgray2002]

I found someone local to install cams, but they dont have a dyno. Do i have to tune immediately with stage 1's or can i wait to take it up to someone with a dyno and just not drive it wot? also, where can i get vt cams, i saw that mustangtuning.com is sold out.

you should get a dyno quick but if you cant get one right away then just dont get on it and just take it easy dont let the rpms get up

How much do you guys think a dyno run/tune should run? i dont want to get overcharged for something because i'm not used to these kinda things. on my other vehicles it was mainly cosmetic stuff done then i got rid of them before i could do motor work.

ask around where i live the guy that works with my tuner (Diablo Sport/ predator) charges $130 an Hr.. I would say anywhere from $120-200+ i cant really give you a straight answer, but at least these numbers should give you an idea.

agreed, but don't forget - you need to buy the handheld tuner first! I was quoted $500 from Dez Racing for a dyno tune b/c I dont have an Xcal or Predator

thats just about what it costs. The handheld tuners are around 300 something alone. Sucks but a good investment.

I have been wondering the same thing... I would try calling around to a few outfits like MPH RPM ect... and see if they have any type of mail order tune that would be close enough to get you by till you find a dyno... At least thats what I was thinking about doing...

how long it take to tune a cams mod?

like when i did my a/f ratio tuning in my old rx-7, we did it with a wideband and made about 10-12 high speed runs on the highway.
