A performance shop in my area is currently running this cam package deal. Looking for others opinion on this. I would also be buying BTR trunnion upgrade. Is this actually a “deal”? Anything else I should look to
upgrade while I’m in there? Currently have a Varram, Kooks long tubes that will be installed at the same time and a Corsa extreme already on. I know it’s hard to say but any ideas what kind of gains I would see from this? Thanks in advance.

 

Is that installation and tune???

 

I've seen less expensive packages, but it's not a ripoff. If you still have the stock clutch, it'll be next. I would suggest the BTR2 (I think) that's 227-234@113 for an easy going cam that'll give you a nice bump.

 

Harmonic balancer? I mean, you're right there, and they do have a reputation for failure.

 

I assume you already have headers?

 

He mentioned that he will:

 

Yeah splurge for the ATI underdrive dampener, otherwise looks great.
Lots of options on custom cam specs, talk to the Tuner about your goals, can compare it to BTR Stage I, II, III

 

honestly at that price save a little more and go with a SC setup. Make some real gains.

 

Yes that’s install and tune. Baseline and After install.

 

I’m starting to think this might be the best choice.

 

I would still think about the headers, valve springs, pushrods, trunnions and a balancer with a SC install. And with all of that and since you're right there...a baby blower cam. You'll still need that clutch... The madness

 

or go ahead with the headers/cam AND get a supercharger

 

Just as an opinion from recent work done. Unless you just WANT the dual VS then look at upgrade beehive as they are easier on the valve train.

If you are gonna do a SC then just freshening up the valve train and a damper would be a great idea and might as well throw in a small blow cam grind.

but for the cam, lts, cold air, and tune....be close to or a smidge over 430 to the tire and about 415-20s torque...

 

Yeah I say go do the cam and valvetrain 1st, but use a blower cam. Then later on when you can afford, actually do the blower. This will keep required boost down at the minimal level for your power goals.

 

better yet ....twin turbo kit hehehe

 

yours sounds pretty good to me
i just got my quote
i know it's probably not that bad but...
scared the crap out of me

My bad!

 

That's a lot, but it's also a lot of parts and work to be done. I didn't go through and try to estimate it though, lol. It's def going to be beast, esp with that Stage III cam with all the other supporting parts, will like to rev high and strong..

 

I saw that Same deal here in WI ;o)

 

I've decided to get the 373 Rear End and Kooks Headers
I'l start saving my money again and try for the cam next year
