reliability with cams

i've searched a bit and cant quite find anything for the cams i want.
looking at getting comp cams part #113300, wanted to know if anyone else is running them?
if so, can you give me your input on them? not trying to upgrade valves and springs if i dont have to.

Are they stage one or two? Reliability would be the same as stock if you tune it right and take care of the car.

I thought you had basically no disposable income. Cams are to help power once upgraded I don't see them doing much on a basically stock car, what are your current mods?

Dont bother with cams until you are boosted. In fact you wont need them until you get a built engine. Better of saving for a blower or turbo
Unless you are going for a high hp NA build, dont do that though.

not going for boost or high hp. just want a decently fast DD. aiming for 200 whp, not much more than what i already have. just intake, downpipe, and muffler delete got me to 144 whp and 141 torque.

That really doesn't seem like much of an improvement for how much was spent, I feel I have to be above that with intake, exhaust and tune but it's the LAP so it's got VVT. Picked up a turbo kit tonight though which is why I never got any header/dp for it, didn't know if I wanted to go TC or SC.

Yes it is, minor bolt ons just wont get you there. Just save up about a grand and you could have a supercharger kit from mongorat

those cams will treat you well, will need tuned though. lucky being an l61 in the sence that you can just order them up and be good to go.

I'm well aware you've got an l61 not the LAP as I but what I was saying is that seems like a really low number for what you've put on.

I thought you had an l61... The cams should be drop in ready.

I run comp cams in my SS/SC.

I've had not one issue with them since I installed them back in January.

I recommend you install springs though when you upgrade the cams.

It's the intake cam. It's about half an inch longer than the exhaust cam.

You don't have a cam pos sensor.


Staged who'd you work with to get your cams? Matt?
