    hey Guys.

    I was looking into rockers and all but then I saw thats cams are not that much more expensive.
    I read the safely mod thread but i have a couple question.

    VS CAM= ZZ Performance



    so basicly this cam i can install it and i dont need to change anything else just need to get a tune?

    My goal is to go faster with the less KR possible,what kind of pulley could a run with a cam, 3dp, highflow cat,104's,180* tstat, and air intake?

    what material do I need to install it?
    Any other parts?

    and how many hours am i looking at to get it installed? (im getting a local 3800 genius to do the work for me)

    and i will start with a can tune from overkill to start then later ill personnaly go see him.

    hope some of you guys can help me out

    thanks BIGGT

    If you are having a local 3800 genius do it, then they've likely installed a few times in the past. You'll be changing springs and retainers.

    You'll need valve cover gaskets, intake gaskets, SC gaskets, valve seals are suggested, and a timing cover gasket. Some Ultra Copper RTV and 2-3 cans of brake cleaner.

    Time to complete. This kinda depends on the guy. Some guys are faster than others. This past weekend, I cammed 05CompGman's car. Car is beautiful and I was super careful to be more meticulous than usual. Total install was cam, headers, springs, retainers, and valve seals. Rich dropped off the car and I started into it at 8:30pm on Friday night. At 4pm Saturday he had a text saying it was running. In reality by then it was running, fluids were topped off and it was about to be programmed for the codes necessary. In there I slept. When you think about it though..that's under 20 hours. Some guys take a bit longer. I have all the tools right nearby and have the right tools for the job. When using a close enough tool, it takes longer.

    As for cams. I'd suggest either the Intense-Racing S1X or the ZZP XP cam. Those are IMO the most common, best streetable cams out on the market at the moment that I am aware of.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
