just starting to look into picking up some cams....just curious where people get em from, and typical price

 

450 without a core charge is around the price if ur going for regrinds...alot more like 7 something if u get jbp tri flow

 

any place in particular to go to for the regrinds??

 

Look up 272 cams in using the search button. There is a guy on the west coast that makes them for a reasonable price IIRC.

 

all i can say is, have fun tuning them

 

heh.....I know I'm not the best with my laptop yet, but I'll get it done hahaha....I'm sure it won't be done in a weekend though

 

garvarna tuning got stage 3 cams for a little over 450.

 

i 2 was thinking about this but don't even know were to start

 

steppin up to the big time are ya buddy?

 

for those going with the cams you have to keep in mind that you will need some head work down. valves, valves springs, retainers etc. depending on how agressive your cams are.

 

um, no to the valves.

springs, retainers, seat locators. im sure you can get away with the 264 grind on stock springs, but thats pushing it. the stock springs are soft.

 

and so everyone this isnt a huge power adder..its more a finishing touch or if ur in there working on the head anyways...

 

I wouldn't touch the valves....but I will be doing some springs, retainers and locaters as area 47 said. Now, as far as rev-limit......anything else I would need to think about to bring it up to around 8k? I would think maybe neutral balance shafts?? Or would stock block handle the extra rpm?

 

I believe the GM build book reccomends the neutral shafts for 8000RPM.
Do you have a copy of that?

 

ur gonna need to dump that 2.7 pulley..ur gonna be over spinning the blower

 

yea, I'd probably put on a 2.9 or something, just have to figure out what would be the best to go with.....I have a few pullies in my garage so that won't be a problem.

 

im running a 2.8

stock shafts is fine till 7500. no higher. funny things happen.

neutral shafts is 8192 {highest hpt will go}

 

throwing rods FTW

 

That's an understatement.....

Here... I fixed it for you....

 

i have an inside line anyways. i'll be good
