    What would produce more power in a Grand Prix GT? The GT1 cam, or the ER rockers? I'm having trouble deciding between the two!

    From what I hear, cams are definitely the way to go if you want to be as fast as possible short of adding boost. If you just want a simple bolt on for some more power then rockers are the way to go.

    Thanks guys! So if I go with the GT1 cam, and I decide to turbo or top swap my car in the future, will they be compatible? Or would I have to switch back to my stock cam?

    you get a cam designed to work with the turbo, so neither. Anything can work within reason, it just wouldnt be as good.

    I ran a GT1 in my impala. Took it to 14.7's in the quarter. I know a guy that had a gt1 and then top swapped. He said it performed pretty well with boost too.

    any cam will work better than the stock cam, regardless of the setup. if you go turbo later a GT1 will work decently and make a nice amount of power. N/A cams are pretty close to turbo cam specs, so it wont be a bad thing to have in your motor.
