Default Cam install

im getting my stage 1 cam in the next couple weeks, also i bought the valve springs just in case.

so what else do i need for installing the cams? do i need the cam gears?

what about tunning it? i know it should be custom tune but can i doit with my predator? or but it on the dyno?


thanx!

you really dontneed the springs for most stage ones but its a good idea to get them anyway. yeah the car has press on cam gears so you will need a set of bolt on cam gears which is like 80 bucks for the pair. and wouldnt suggest using a predator to tune it get it dyno tuned. good luck

Your car has a romeo engine, meaning bolt on gears stock. Re use your gears and get new gearbolts as they are TTY.

Stage II's may have a bit of piston to valve clearance issues too. Unless of course, he already has notched pistons.
