ive asked alot of people around the town i live in and i get the same awnser NO. So i thought i would ask here since everone here is mustang guys are cams worth the money on a 2v? i have intake exhaust and nitrous??

If you want to maximize your cars potential, then yes they are worth it. Don't expect major gains without some type of headwork. Since you are using N2O, I would look into getting a nitrous specific cam grind. Most all of the major cam manufacturers either offer an off the shelf nitrous cam or they can custom grind one for you.

All of this is assuming you are going to do the install. If not, cams are not really worth it IMO.

im assuming its not your average install?

i couldent do the install i dont have a clue on degreeing a cam plus my local mustang tuner shop says you halft to pull the motor?? everyone around here says cams are a big waste of money and you dont pick up verry much power like less than 30hp

I can say that I had to pay for install, so mine ran well over 1500 by the time everything was said and done (tune, chip, cams, springs, install). For that kind of price, I would not do it again.

But dont you just love the "lope" sound? I would probably get cams on both my Stangs just for the "lope" sound.

since you would have to pay others to do all the work id say no its not. but for the price of cams and tune yeah. especially if youre trying to max out your cars performance.

and omfg that beastly sound!

If you are semi-mechanically inclined, and your car is not a DD and you can just park it, do the install yourself. If you take your time and use a Haynes manual you should be fine. Youll learn a hell of alot too. Also, the motor does not need to come out.

who do you take your car to in Lubbock? i moved up here from Houston not too long ago and haven't found anyone in town that i think i could trust to work on my car. and whoever told you that you have to pull the motor to put in cams is probably trying to justify their ridiculously high labor rates. a while back i was looking into doing cams and figured i'd call around and get some quotes just incase i decided i didn't want to or couldn't do it myself, and Complete Auto told me like $800 or $900.

Do all aftermarket cams 'have' to be degreed? I know there is power to be had from degreeing, but can't the tuner make up for this? The cam install itself is really not that hard. Time consuming, i'd reccomend buying an electrical impact gun to make things easier. First time it took me 8 hours. I could prolly do it in like 6 now. Kinda jumped into it the first time. Taking motor out? What a joke. I'd say its worth it only if doing yourself. Full bolts ons and a cam, even without headwork, you would see around 270rwhp.
