I originally planned on going with VT Stage 2 Cams, but now some people are suggesting to go with Comp Cams because the power gains are better. Which would be better to go with? What is the equivalent to a VT Stage 2 from Comp?

 

xe270's are stage 2 part number 102600

 

You have to flycut the piston with stage 2 comp cams. With stage 2 VT cams you dont. So if you're willing to do some piston work then yes the power gains will be slightly better

 

i've got a 96 gt and want to get patriot stage 2 head for a pi swap and wanted to get big cams but was told i cant cause of the piston to valve clearance. are you sure with the vt stage 2 cam i wouldnt have any problems? how much of a diffference is there between the two cams?

 

No the stage 2 comp are only .550 lift i thought.Idont think uhave to doanything to make your comps. to fit.If your going for sound then vt all the way but on horsepower i wouldnt thinkthere much of a diff. in horsepower

 

What cams do you have in your car? Do you have and sound clips?

 

That for the 99-04 though.For the 96-98 i dont know

 

I got stage 2 in mine and no problems here.Here's one of my sounds clip
