Caming my 97 gtp

[Jbruce]

I am looking into getting a cam for my gtp with supporting mods. Could I still use the car as a everyday driver?

[TheOtherNick]

Yeah.

[Jbruce]

Alright thanks, it's not going to be anything to intense.

[Jbruce]

Any recommendations for where I should buy the cam from?

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

There's a link in my signature that you should probably read.

Not to sure still looking into what mods I will need. Intense has a performance package that I was looking into that seemed to have everything I would need, but I don't know much about cams and what supporting mods they need.

4) - Camshafts – Camming your GT/GTP is one of those advanced level mods. It entails either doing it while your motor is out by pulling the balancer and front cover and a few other small things, OR, Dropping the motor mount and pulling the cam out through the wheel well, which is a nice alternative for those not comfortable with pulling the motor all the way out. There are many choices of cams out there. Most guys that don’t want anything crazy or are intercooled tend to lean towards the VS Cam...it is a proven cam that really does the job still running on the stock valvetrain. Many people have taken the VS well into the 12's and 11's with the right tuning and setups. Next on the list of the VERY popular XP or Intense-Racing S1X cam…both intended for a more aggressive idle and more useable and readily available powerband. The XP is a higher RPM cam while the S1X uses the 3800 mid and low range grunt. Both of those cams WILL require stronger valvesprings and matching retainers...at least of the #105 strength. Anything past those WILL require head work to function to their fullest ability, and anything needing clearance will require milling valve guides in your heads...Such as the Intense-Racing Stage 3 Cam, Comp Cams XPZ Cam, Thrasher Race Cam, or the Intense Stage 4 Cam are very radical and harsh, but make LOTS of high RPM power...but are only useful with tons of supporting mods and little pulleys to keep the air flow levels high where it helps these types of cams to shine. Read this sticky here for all of that information: http://www.grandprixforums.net/cam-specs-747.html (Cam specs?) Cost: $300+

read that link, and dont buy packages of parts. It cheaper to buy them one by one from different sites and people on here.

[Jbruce]

Will do thanks for the help.

S1X hands down if staying with the stock heads. It's been proven they go faster in the back half.
