I'm expecting 250-260rwhp like everyone else here on the board with similar mods and am wondering how much these cams would add to that?

Thanks!
I would guess that these cams would give you about 10 more whp or so to your "soon to be set up". It would be the next logical upgrade to your NA set up. If you ever planed on going FI, they would work great for you as well.



Wanna get these out of my shop soon, hopefully this week.

Unhappy

$950 for install on cams? how many hours does it take to put these in? How much do you charge for a turbo or super charger install? I was thinking about getting cams but damn thats a ton of money for labor.

Well, you gotta tear about the whole front of the engine, to gain access, remove the cams(easy part). Install new cams, check lifter clearances, if any clearances are out of tolerance it requires you remove the cams, change to the proper size lifter(in .05mm increments), and reinstall the cams. (And this is a simplified explanation) Look in the service manual, it's a pretty good size job. I much rather bolt on a kit, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I know that you recommended them for Vortech users, but how about us with Stillen Superchargers?

Yes, these are about one of 2 or 3 ways to increase the power output of your car with the Stillen SC. I have done a few cam installs on Stillen outfitted cars and all came out nice.

If I do not sell these this next week than I am just going to keep them for another upcomming project.... once again, these are JWT S2 cams in great shape with only a few thousound miles on them.
Let me know soon...............

Let me know soon...............

Any rough idle or valve/shim adjustment needed after the cams installed? About how much more improvement with the cams with the Stillen stage 2 kit and stage 4 (getting that very soon)? What are the other ways to increase power on the Stillen kit?
