I will be pulling the engine and transmission out of my totaled camaro and putting it into another camaro i found and am trying to decide whats the best mod to do while its out. Im stuck on long tube headers, cam or painting my car. Which would you guys do?

What is your budget and what is done to the car already? A4 or M6?

M6 and it will be completely stock after the engine goes into it. And my budget is probably about 400-600 dollars atm. shelling out most of my money on a roller.

How much does a cam cost? i have never even looked at one before.

To be done right with all of the supporting modifications for a bone stock motor, you're looking at around $2000.

If it was out of those 3, cam would be my choice. That would make the most power.

If it was me I would stab in a hotcam or cc503 and use the stock rockers and just put in some better springs. It wouldnt be the smartest choice, but a cam change would be far easier with the engine out of the car than with it in it. Then I could ad boltons when the cash flows in.


But.... you say you've never seen a cam, so Im gonna say get some headers or you may end up costing yourself some big $$$.

Since you only have a couple hundred dollars then doing a cam should wait. Focus on the basics like a cold air and some headers first

a good catback so it sounds good. then start saving. 4-600 is not much at all and you won't be doing anything the 'right' way.

If you buy used parts, you could easily do a cam swap for around $600. That is the way I would go since you already have the motor out it would make things ALOT easier.

but if his car is completely stock why throw a cam set-up in it ESPECIALLY when he admits he has no idea what he is doing with cam's. I would say start with minor bolt-on's. such as exhaust and a CAI. Buy used to make the most use of your money

I was assuming he had atleast minor bolt-ons, if he doesn't, then that's where he should start.
