it's time for a cam
 

im looking to cam my 2002 z28 soon. i'm having the true duel installed in about 15 days( fingers crossed). i called EPS about getting a cam shaft with a custom grind. i jsut have questions about what else i should do...i want to get somewhere around 425 hp. my buddie told be to get with a mild cam and heads. ls6? i'm willing to save to get the better parts. what all do i need for a cam swap? valve springs? oil pump? timeing chain?

Have you done headers yet? If not I would reccommend it. As well as a good cold air intake. These things need to breathe. I would do push rods as well.

Depending on which heads you go with you will also need pushrods. Do you have all the proper tools to do the swap?

i have tsp 1 7/8 stain;ess on the car now, and i have a auto hobby shop on base that is every gear heads playground

Start saving...

search a little...OR just buy a TSP cam and be done with it lol

So far I'm looking at cam timing chain valve springs lifters and push rods...heads will come at a later date

TSP or EPS should be able to give you a cam that should meet your goals. I have got a cam from each and both make great power.

you can get springs ,push rods,timing chain,and gaskets from TSP.get a mail order tune from frost if you don't want to spend $300+ on a dyno tune.do you have access to hp tuners?.whats your budget ?can you afford a TSP head/cam combo ?there are cams that can make 425 hp cam only swap.I like the EPS cam route,they make good power with a little less duration.

right now my budget looks like no more then 4k over the course of three or so months, the exhaust is a must and will happen before the f body gathering. there is a local guy arounf here that will charge 450 to dyno tune but if i come back after i add more bolt ons he will only charge me dyno time

and right now im studying and taking notes from the cam guide that is posted in the sicky's....i want to make the best choice i can
