Well, I have come to a deciscion, for my situation right now, I am going to get a CC306 Cam for my Daily Driver M6 1997 LT1 SS. What other necessary parts will I need besides a Tune. (the reason I picked the 306 is because my friends said dont bother wasting money on a smaller cam , cause you will just want to go bigger.) Thanks all!

 

Well, if you want to do it as cheap as possible, you could simply replace the springs and leave the rockers, lifters, pushrods, and timing set. I did that on my car and it ran fine for a while with that cam.

Its really up to you. Either way you go is gonna be fine and make good power. I really liked the cc306 in my M6. It really likes ported heads and a stout valvetrain too.

 

At the bare minimum, I will have new springs, new 1.6 RR, and hardened pushrods with tuning, with the cam. I am debating getting lifters. Will they be necessary? About what 1/4 time will i run with what Power and TQ?

 

I need to find a cam I dont' have ported heads, just the stock ones. Anyone recommend good already ported heads for my 97 formula?

 

a heavy duty timing chain and all wouldn't hurt

 

Well as a refrence:

My 95 firehawk
cc306
stock firehawk airbox
mac headers, no cats
hooker catback
stock rockers
comp 941 springs (not highly recomended)
cheap hardened pushrods
stock lifters
stock heads
stock intake
52mm TB
------------
346/340 through an M6.

Power peaked around 62-6300.

 

I'll be getting a 3200 stall converter, headers and a y pipe. Then I'm getting new wheels and tires, then some more appearance and suspension mods. How much will good heads and a cam cost together? I'm lookin to get them as a pack, maybe around 3900-4300 bucks.

 

wow, 4300 would get you AFR heads. 2k will get you a good H/C package. Then add gaskets, lifters, rockers, pushrods, and fluids.

Expect to spend about 2500 for a complete head/cam swap.

 

Sweet. What would it be for a professional installation?! Now that I can't do myself
