I am installing long tube headers, and polished heads, and i heard to really feel these i need to install a cam. My question then is, where or what is a good cam in the 100-200 dollar range?

 

don't base a cam off of the price you base it off what you want/need to accomplish. Also a cam install requires alot more parts then 1-200 bucks. If you want the cheapest cam set up get a hot cam, but you will still need gaskets and a timing chain.

 

P&P heads won't really gain much on stock internals (cam), maybe 15hp...

but longtubes will definately wake the car up. they are noticable on even stock cars...

get those...then research the heads/cam issue

 

I allready got he p and p heads, and the headers at my house. Thats why i was asking about the cams.

 

for the cam you are looking for about 250 for the cam alone. + the price of gaskets, new timing chain,

then you going to keep the stock rocker arms?

doing a full cam install is around 1k

 

haha Maybe if you are going to replace stuff you don't really need to replace. I have a lot of friends who have done it for about 200 flat. Although most of them are of little help now.

 

no emmisions id go cc306....think it goes for around 230-40.....for the price range your lookin for new all your gonna find is the LT4 Cam

 

Cam itself is going to be 200+, no matter which one you buy. Even after that, BARE minumum you are going to need springs too. Bigger cam will require more than a smaller one (bigger springs, rocker arms, pushrods etc etc).

 

Buy a used lt4hotcam then buy some lt4 springs and a new timing chain setup.that should be your best bet.

 

I am getting a new one for 150 from a guy at another forum. Where can i get the springs and timing chain?
