Re: cc 306 cam?

Are you going to have the heads ported? Are you going to use a different stall converter?

Re: cc 306 cam?

My bad I didn't see the part where the car is a 6 speed I'm a little drunk. As for your cam situation the cc503 is a very good proven cam for stock heads. How much do you plan on having your heads ported and when you say eventually in how much time? The cc306 will work with stock heads but it wont be living up to its potential

(they are gaskets port matched now.) i wanting to use ether. i didnt wanna pay 700$ for the kit though. what all has to be replaced? i know the valve springs (whatsthe cheapest springs i can run?) but what else do i "have" to upgrade?

Re: cc 306 cam?

The CC306 is an okay cam with GOOD fully ported heads, but for what you're looking for it's a poor choice.

If you don't have the money to do it right I wouldn't do it at all. A cam swap is fairly involved, and the valve springs aren't something you want to get the "cheapest". You're looking at the cam, rockers, pushrods, guideplates, lifters, timing chain, and most importantly a TUNE. A few of those things listed are optional but highly recommended. You may want to reconsider having the heads done for such a budgeted price. Many times shops don't know what they are doing and the heads will end up performing the same as stock, if not worse.

Consider saving up a bit more money - you'll thank yourself in the long run.

Re: cc 306 cam?

IMO forget both of those. If you want a shelf Comp cam do the 503, your stock original lifters are probably just fine.

Re: cc 306 cam?

The stock springs aren't really good enough for the stock cam, you absolutely have to replace them with any upgraded cam.

Re: cc 306 cam?

The 305 is a **** cam.. go 503 if you want off the shelf. And a set of comp behives will work fine. The 503 is an awesome cam on stock and ported heads... ignore the 305... take a look at some of advanced induction cams and Lloyd Elliot cams also...

Re: cc 306 cam?

Yes. But why are you set on a cam that isn't going to perform as well as the 503? Trust me I had the 503 and it was awesome!
