Re: Buying Camshaft Kit , need help What cam are you looking at?
Your gonna need headers to really complement the cam. I suggest LT or mid length (Mac or Bassani). I see you live in Cali, remember only shorties are a go out here.
I always think about doing things now and worry about the consequences later...which I know is bad, but figured that "money talks" and I should have no problems with emissions <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Pcm programming all depends on what cam you get. You can get away with drilling out the TB a little with a 114 lsa, but for 112 I would get programming. Before my programming my car wouldn't idle for ****. Now, she runs perfect..only stalling out sometimes in reverse.
You should also consider a good tq converter.
BTW where in Cali do you live?
peace

WHY? This high lift cam will have a slightly smaller base circle than your factory cam requireing longer pushrods, however, having the heads milled .030" will require shorter pushrods.... Becomes a "tit for tat"..... Use stock length CompCams pushrods.
