L98 performance help.
You should not get the cam before you have firmly decided what you want to do with the intake. All of this stuff must work together and you could end up with a bad combination.
I would not say it will lose you any power, it'll make more for sure with the chip tune, but you will not make what the cam can do if you dont pick the right intake system.





I never like anything ANY of the comp techs said to me on the phone.

My car with cc502 ans HSR made 268HP and 315 TQ on a screwed up dyno run. I think it can make more.

Thats kind of what I figured but my budget kind of dried up.
So if I wanted to improve on what I have.
You recommended the accel 211 cams & 1:6 rr's
is there another cam you can recommend that would work well with the stock setup? I just want to have a couple of options.
thanks again.

Also I'm thinking a comp cams extreme energy cam # 08-503-8
has anyone used this cam if so what can I expect?
Now I know that a cam change requires some changes to the computer. Can I use one of the off the shelf chips or do I need to find a programmer?
I'm also going to go with the 1.6 RR's now this may be a dumb question but.... would I need taller valve covers with 1.6 RR's?
can the stock covers be clearanced to fit? does anyone make taller stock looking covers?
I would like to keep things under the hood as stock looking as possible.
Thanks again.
however i have used this cam with noticable power gains comp cam 20-810-9 Xtreme Energy™, XR268HR-10 basically hot cam (ZZR)
Street Machines, Stock Converter in 340 & 360 .. use it with 22-2400 stall convertor,, modifiy tranny with shift kit , shift module for tight smooth shifts, (if sundrum hasnt been done, you may break IT) . regular 113 ported heads, modify the TB as suggested in prevoisly post. make sure the play in the butter fly shaft is gone.. ..DONT USE 1.6
rocker WITH THIS CAM, excedes max allowable sping compression which is .500I and .500E.. 1.5 RR S/A narrow bodied recommended ,change the rocker stud bolt to ARP 3/8", change valve spring as per comp suggests. CHANGE OUT THE AIR PUMP ..with ELIMINATOR like in my avatar ..this combination will give you noticable seat gripping power where your buddy will be not able to grab the 100 dollar bill , from the dash, when you open er
it up! the above combination work well in my 87 l98
stock valve cover will not work! the RR lock nuts are too high .. use an chrome steel center or aluminium cover ( grooves cut in for looks)which slighly higher then stock,(tall cover dont clear the air condtioner bracket) these still need to be modified by machining the inside support down to about 1/2" . this is done to clear RR and locks.. leave the tighten towers intack

Now if you were going to switch from TPI to SuperRam/MR/Stealth, then it will need another tune.
The reason why I recommend to do it all together, if its possible, is because the tune can be customized just once that way and you won't have issues. If you do heads/cam first and tune it (as you should with a cam change) and then do intake later, you may need a retune and depending on who does it for you it may cost you the same $$$ again.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but...
I punched that part number in and it's telling me it's a Mopar Cam.
