CAM SUGGESTIONS
HEY GUYS FOR A WHILE IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT PUTTING SOME CAMS IN MY PI HEADS BEFORE THE SWAP IS DONE. I NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS ON CAMS (FOR EXAMPLE STAGE 1 STAGE 2 AND BRANDS) ALSO ALL OTHER MODS THAT I WILL NEED FOR THE CAMS. THE ONLY OTHER PLANS I HAVE FOR THIS CAR IS BIGGER INJECTORS AND A TUNE. THANKS

Not that there aren't hundreds of threads with this exact question, if I were getting new cams I would get Stage 1 cams, that of course would be if I didn't want to do headwork and go with a bigger cam. Stage 2 cams, minus Modular Head Shop Stage 2 cams, will have very little PTV clearance.
Everybody else on this site except one, will say go Stage 2 cams. CMS, Hitech, Comp, Bullet are all pretty popular cams along with MHS.
A tune will be a must and bigger injectors are a good addition to new cams.

OP, i totally agree with WannaBeGearHead. If you want some great cams that perform good, require no springs, and have no possible ptv clearence issues, then these MHS cams might be what you're looking for.

Call Nick at Modular Head Shop, and draw your own conclusions. I did a boat load of research in this area (talked to some of the top Modular engine builders in the country too) and most agree that we need at least 0.040" to be at safe operation. Most popular stage 2's offer anywhere from 0.005" to 0.015" when installed at the advertised intake centerline.

Yes, a lot do. There have been a couple of places that have said 0,040" clearence (minimum) would be acceptable if you're not spinning the motor to high.
