Damn, I'd drive to Texas and buy a 12 pack if I had cams! That's a nice deal you're offering. Too bad I'll be in Iraq.

where's the car at? we may be able to recommend a shop or 2. Costs will vary but shouldn't be too far from $400-$600. Also figure for a tune and if you don't have a tuner or chip, get request SCT. It's awesome and will dial in your ride for some killer HP/TQ gains with the new sticks.

For the bump sticks themselves...consider the VT's the best. If you get the Stage II's (recommended), also plan on springs for your heads ($180-$230). The VT's are a great grind, offer plenty of PTV (piston to valve) clearance, even on stock motors, and will sound sick!

If you plan on a supercharger, get the blower cams as they work well with N/A cars and even better with boost. If you are staying with N/A or Nitrous, get the N/A cams. N/A or nitrous grinds usually don't work well with blowers as they have alot of overlap and that allows for the boost to back door out while the exhaust valve is open during the opening of the intake valve blowing out some of the boost and cylinder pressure. However the lack of overlap in the blower cams will not dramatically effect a N/A or nitrous tune.

Good Luck, let us know if you need the parts/labor.

so if i was to run blower cams on an n/a motor with boost in mind for the future would the gains be worth it now on the n/a motor?? and when i mean the future i mean year year and a half.
