Default cams install vq35hr

hi, I'm thinking about getting installed cams (tomei 264 or 272), headers and retune... (currently I'm tuned by uprev).

I'm asking for quotes in the Houston / San Antonio / Austin area.

The car isn't my daily driver so time isn't an issue.

PowerFab. Why not the JWT? C2; 261 w/ 11.58 of lift! http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/wol...INCL_REVUP.pdf

What headers you looking to run? I liked Stillen back in the day.

all that lift I don't like to take chances revving 7500 constantly.
yes, I think stillen with jet hot coating is going to be my choice...

there are a couple of guys that already went that route and is a solid 25 whp on top of my existing mods... with a full weight reduction at less than 3000lbs should be interesting. :-)

You could do the C9R... 13.11 lift! What are the specs for the Tomei? Cosworth makes a great set also.

Lift isnt everything. Also anything beyond 11 requires new pistons. Are you doing valve springs also? If you remember that camshaft shootout the JWT's showed the best results on the revup. Have you considered them?

If you do new cams, consider that new valves and springs will be in your best interest as well. If you get up to an 11mm lift, the new springs will be there to insure that you don't slap and bend your valves.

agree... but that was implied considering the expense of the job (labor + parts)

Cams are pretty involved on these cars. Motor has to come out to do it right for sure.

Could you elaborate on why people need to change pistons over 11mm and also do you feel i needed to change my pistons also since the lift on my cams are 11mm on both intake and Exhaust.
