Swapping Cams Even Necessary???

mysweetlx · 05-22-2002, 11:59 AM

Hey guys, if you wouldn't mind, check out my mods below ad let me know if you think it'd be worthwhile swapping my F303 for a custom ground cam etc. I'll be bottle feeding next year w/ either 125-150 shot. I'm not quite sure if a cam can really provide any extra performance worth spending te $300+. I'd really appreciate your input. Thanx. P.S. if I do swap, how much could i get for my F303 w/ 1000 miles on it?

I'm not much of a cam guru, but i'll take a shot at this one.

Although a custom grind will suit you best, you have many other choices of good nitrous cams out there that aren't nearly as expensive as the custom ones.

I'd expect you to get atleast $100 out of your Fcam.

fiveohpatrol is right, there are a lot of NO2 cams out there that aren't custom. Have you looked at AFM? The cam would give you a lot more power with the juice though. I say swap. Good luck though.

Thanks guys. I checked out the AFM site, and the price ($269) desn't seem too bad at all. Do you know wha the lift/duration #'s are compared to my current F cam?

Couldn't tell you that man. The best I can do is to tell you to call them to find out. They should be able to suggest a cam too. Good Luck.
