How much would i be looking at to buy cams and get them install. And what kind of gains will i see

 

cams+install= roughly $900 , gains= minimal, buying other mods instead of the last resort cams= priceless. There's some things money can't buy and turbo kit isn't one of them..

 

r u crAZY 900

500 for it
60 buck for installation with Jtool
here the installation: YouTube - cam shaft installation on a ecotec

tune is almost free if your aleready tuned


max 700 and you cammed and u ll toaster every single 2.2 that have same mod that you except the cam. 2.4 are toasted too. SC stock are damn close. no 4cyl N/a ll beat you.
you need a very good honda to make some fun. prelude-sri-gsr-typeR-

here some proofsssss

just go for it if you r a 2005 or 06 coby

 

All though I have never done anything to my car other than extremely idiot proof bolt ons from what I have read and gethered, cams seem to be one of the last things to look it if you do them all. Depending on who you go with and what grinds you may realize that you do not enjoy a cammed car as a DD, you may love it. something to think about. You can read all about NWAEs experience with camming his 2.2 (I believe he did his install him self though, it could've turned out a little different if he took it to a shop..lol)

 

Well I only have CAI right now and I heard That cams would really make a difference. I know fi u will get great gains but I don't have that kind of money

 

What kind of "cams"?

 

I thought he said he wanted to pay for installation?, any shop would charge $150-$200 easy.
I was also checking out the average price on cams and basically I see around $700.

 

Well if its only an hour job that's like 100 buck

 

I suspect it might be 1.5hrs or 2.. someone can check alldata and see how much hours it takes to switch out cam(s) on a cobalt.

 

where are u guys getting prices from cams? from ttr u can get comp cams for $500 shipped

 

you can get comp cams for 435 at autopartsdealer.com, thats where i got mine from

 

I like that number alot better

 

a other argument for cam
without cam that would be impossible

^^ seems like they are going reallyyyy slowwwww. Idk if they are really slow, or they don't know how to drive..

oh and sorry I was only looking at those gm racing cams never thought of comp cams..

 

And how much do stage 2 cams cost

 

500$ plus installation

Man I luv the way your car sounds and it pulls like a ***** to. I wish I lived near you man because I got my g5 gt with all the bolt ons and just need to finish it off with the tune.

 

i would expect around $300 for install alone.

 

Whats DD?

 

Ya i have no clue what that is. I dont know to much about the inside of our engines thats why i wouldnt do it my self

 

it easy, just fellow the torq spec and watch the youtube about that.

 

ask elecblue. i drove 800km to get tune.

google map riviere du loup it the closet we can do

Ok so i was looking at cams and i found this website.

COMP Cams: Ecotec 2.0L, 2.2L

what is the difference between all of them. I think the torque one is the best?

 

hang on a second!! I'm also confused on cams, most people say stay away. You can't just throw cams in and expect it to run good. As long as this thread is titled cams, whats all that is needed? A tune? what else.
