What cam with GT40 intake?

NO SLO PK · 12-29-2005, 06:19 PM

The problem with selecting a cam with stock heads is that the cam will no longer be ideal when you change the heads and exhaust. Another problem is the stock valve springs are not compatible with the fast ramps of the newer cams. An E cam will *work okay*, but why bother on a stock engine. I bet you get 7 hp. For the same kinda money I'd buy an electric fan or a set of pullies and have some money left over.

Ouch. don't have that much money now. so, looking towards the future, i'll just get the intake now and then do the cam and heads at the same time. think i'd notice any improvement with just the intake? maybe a new throttle body, say 65 mm too? no more money.
