Thread: Top Swap Or Cam?

ZZP sells it.

Like Bio said, ZZP sells it and after you buy everything needed for the kit, it will cost at LEAST $1600. That kinda sucks considering the SSM90 kit won't make much hp compared to top swap or turbo cars.

Here's my recommendation though if you do go the SSM90 route. Get an L67 balancer so that you can run a normal sc pulley rather then the SSM90 pulley. You won't have as much belt slip and you will be able to squeeze out more power (considering that the smallest SSM90 pulley is either a 3.2" or 3.4").

You can get a new/refurbished kit for $1000, everything included. I've seen used in varying condition for as low as $350.

I would advise against the SSM90 kit.
Top swap cost depends on if you use a Gen 3 or Gen V. $1k out the door is a fair price.
The $350 shadowswept is talking about is generally just going to be a supercharger and lim.

I got all my top swap parts gaskets,bolts, some extras since im an 01, and hard parts in all for about $850 all together. I got the hard parts from members here so sometimes shopping thru the forums could get you a nice deal. All i need now is a tune and im basically set but im at a crossroads...

What's with all these old bumped threads recently?

Oh well...

Regardless, WBodyStore is selling a full Top Swap kit if you are worried about sourcing parts...and like Explict_Spade said, it's about a grand or so, depending. You WILL need headers, it's a must...not a "I'll get to it later" thing. That high compression needs to breathe.
