Today I was talking with some people from LS1 Speed Inc, they said that if I were to do a cam swap, that it would be a good idea to change my opti at the same time. Is that true? Opti's don't come cheap, and that would kinda totally blow my budget for the mods I was planning on doing. My car has 55,000 miles on it. Still runs strong, so I personally don't see a need to spend almost $500 to replace it.

 

jason cromer.. samtaylorbuick 250 bucks or so.
no u dont have to. i would if it has over 55k on it though just because.

 

First of all, no friggin opti costs that much! Second, no...you don't have to replace the opti at that time if it's not giving you problems. Some people do it as preventative maintenance.

 

First of all i would like to point out that mine went out at 62K so it is possible, on the other hand............some people have had theirs last 100K without any trouble.........But when you do a cam, it is really easy to do the opti at the same time cause its right there..........so its really your call..........and its not a 500 dollar part......if you call jason cromer 1 850 243 8826, for him and he will sell it to you for like 220 or something ridiculously cheap like that........... I bought mine from him, he is a good guy.

u absolutely do not have to replace it when u do a cam. my opti was good for 98k miles before it went out. save your money for when it goes out man.


if it aint broke....dont fix it! just my .02

 

Doing cam swap right now. Did I get a new opti with 76k on the clock??? Hell yea.
