Getting a little confused if i should get just cams or cams and head package? Got extra money back from uncle sam! Also looking for a good speedshop to do install and tune near santa clara ca. Current upgrades: b&m shifter, jbm shorties, k&n cai and slp lm1! Did a look at what thunder racings website. Any recommendations???

 

You only have one cam in that LS1 and two heads...

Look at Texas Speed/Futral/Thunderracing/EPS... sponsors>>>> for heads and cam packages.

 

Cam and springs would net some good power, give pat g a pm for a custom cam. I do installs and rick at synergy motorsports is an amazing tuner

 

what yr is your gto,what head casting numbers do you have ?being from cali ,you have to take into emissions testing.you can get a nice cam that will pass emissions from Patrick-G.AFR heads are Cali legal.

 

i recommend a rear susp. upgrade. id also look into some LTs.

 

get some used longtubes , do the cam go ms3 or ms4 and upgrade the rear suspension

 

I guess it depends on how much you want to spend. Cam install and tune will cost about $1200-1600 parts and labor. I am not sure how much heads parts and labor will cost. I assume you will be keeping the shorties. I wouldn't get a cam that is too aggressive. Ed Curtis can design a custom cam for you. If you get an off the shelf cam then something like a 220/220 .550/.550 would work. You could go a little more aggressive like a .224/.224 and still pass smog.

 

thunder racing has some good cam pkgs,or talk to Geoff at EPS for a good cam.what are your goals and budget ?

 

go with bolt ons first, replace those shortys with longtubes. and just a heads up your gto doesnt have "cams", theres only one

 

OP has to stay shorties since LTs are no-no in Cali..........
Click on Advanced Inductions link on the right and consider sending your
castings to them. They can also set you up with a small cam to pass smog
and bump up the power.

 

^^ exactly what Targa said, AI will do wonders for ur heads..

 

I would go with simple bolt ons first and work your way to a heads and cam swap
