Biggest cam before stock heads become too much of bottleneck? I still dont justify spending $3k+ for a set of worked stock heads <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Whats the biggest cam that you can get for the stock heads and not have them be too much bottleneck?

Re: Biggest cam before stock heads become too much of bottleneck? So buy some cheaper heads! Mine were $1850, and the set I used to run on my 2000 C5 was $1149.

Re: Biggest cam before stock heads become too much of bottleneck? You have a lot of options Carl. What is your goal NA? I am sure your car will dyno what mine did with cam and headers. My co-worker just dyno'd his 2001 Z28 and he did better w/out hpp3. He dyno 371rwhp.. I dyno'd 372rwhp w/out any tuning as well. Post Ed Wright I dyno'd 390rwhp. That was a 18rwhp increase from mail order tuning.

Re: Biggest cam before stock heads become too much of bottleneck? Hehehe, I know someone that runs an 11.3 and he has a nice cam, but I dont think it work with stock heads. My main goal is for the most power N/A since I dont spray very often, but when I do, I want to gain there also.
Terry, I know about the MMS heads, but you dont see hardly anyone "brag" about them. You hardly see anything at all about them, except for you. Also it took me 3 months for a ported TB, how long for a set of heads?

Re: Biggest cam before stock heads become too much of bottleneck? So buy someone elses heads. The point is you can get good heads for $1000-$1800. No reason to spend $3000!

Re: Biggest cam before stock heads become too much of bottleneck? You might want to check out the ARE "street eliminator" heads/cam package.
Here is a thread with some info about it.

Re: Biggest cam before stock heads become too much of bottleneck? I dont think I want to do the heads yet. If I would do a heads and cam package, then it would be aggressive since I only drive the car maybe once or twice a week. Its not my daily driver.
Thats why I was looking at just cams for now, but might have to do a heads/cam deal so I dont change cams twice.

Re: Biggest cam before stock heads become too much of bottleneck? I gotcha now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Well then you might want to look into one of the reverse split cams if your going to stay with the stock heads.
Maybe the TR230/224? I don't know how the stock springs are gonna like it though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: Biggest cam before stock heads become too much of bottleneck? If you try a reverse split Carl you might want to make sure you get programming. So far from what I have read the individuals who do not have ls1edit with those cams are not doing so well. Yes Joey is doing well with his cam. He also has heads.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Its kind of hard to compare a M6 to A4..

I dont think a reverse split cam would work well with N2O. Alot of intake duration and less exhaust. When I do spray, it couldnt get all the spent gasses out enough, I dont think <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Biggest cam before stock heads become too much of bottleneck? DOH!!!
I didn't see the 150 or 200 shot "depending on your mood" in the sig. LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Maybe a 226/234 like Chris ARE 360 is running. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
