Default im at a loss on what to do

ok so i have a 96 z28 that i daily drive. i want to cam it. it has 103k on the clock. originally i didn't want to cam it before i punched it out to a 355. now that i think about it i just think i want to put a cam in it and get it tunned. what would you do. obviously being in college puts me on a budget. can anyone share there experiences. i wouldn't want more than about 375hp.

Wait until you have the money to really mod it. Plus I don't believe ur gonna get 375 with just a cam and bolt on's you'll need to port the heads too.

ok i should rephrase that. that is my overall goal even with building a 355. or would a good recommendation be getting the suspension of the car done and body work and what not to make the car look good and then do the motor.

Why dont you and your mustang get off ls1tech and we will thank you now!!!!.Has anyone told you that you are a "Dick". Did your mother ever tell you "if you don't have anything nice don't say ****"? I do not think this is the answer this guy was looking for.


Yes you can get 375 fwhp with a cam and bolt-ons I recomend you call G-force motorsports in pearland.Talk to mikey he can hook you up with a cam install and a tune that should get you close to your mark.

he stated that he barely had any money....so wasting the money he has on modding his daily driver doesn't sound like a good idea when his daily driver is a 100k+ mile lt1.

"damn if i had that money on me i would be all over it. this is gonna be about a year long build. my funds are seriously drained with the purchase of an engagement ring."

"if i stayed with a stock crank. what would be a good choice for a cam. I think that i can do a little bit of port work on the stock heads."



doesn't sound like a good idea...



ULUZ...keep writing checks cause you don't know ****
