Readdy to Mod

[1 badblack transam 01]

Im planning my first mod and wondering what you all would recomend for a cam as far as brand and size?

[Mr. Luos]

Cam is your first mod???

I would recommend getting some breather mods first. That way when you do get to a cam...it is worth it.

It alreaddy has K&N air filter and Flowmaster exhaust... this will be my first mod since buying it a half a year ago.

[Mr. Luos]

I recommend at least headers before a cam install.
Do you have an airbox lid??
Ported throttle body?

Best bet is to make sure she can breath before asking her to breath more. If that makes sense.

I would install sub frame connectors first.Then go engine crazy:burnout:

How about a gear? 4.10s or 3.73s...

I agree get a lid, TB, and some headers. Headers are almost a must if you want full potential of ur cam. From what i hear a cam breaths better with a full exhaust.

I agree, a buddy of mine did his cam, stall, and LS1 EDIT with stock manifolds and only picked up 30hp!! Once he got the headers he picked up almost 40 more.--Tony

basically if your looking for the power cams claim to give you, you will need ALL the bolt on's. And it aint cheap either. Get ready to shell out $1800 for just parts. Add AT LEAST another $500 for labor. Thats why take our advice and get the parts you need. Send out ur TB for polishing, order a new lid, LT's are a must, and an LS6 intake.

TB polishing... $150
Lid... $100
LT's depending on what you get will be around $400-500
LS6 intake is another $500

$1250 for the parts you need for a cam to breath properly
400- 500 for a cam
and another 800-900 you will need for the cam. AKA pushrods, timing chain etc...

$2800 and you should be ready. "goin fast aint always cheap"

Thats some great info. Thanks everyone

As previously stated, I'd advise a lid, ported TB, and full exhaust, before you bother with a cam....

This is no BS...We took my cousin's car to get tuned yesterday, H/C 98 Z28 with the STOCK airbox and paper filter, with no tuning, JUST an FIPK swap, 20 RWHP was gained...
