Default CMS cams

im rebuilding a 2000gt motor and need some cams to buy. im going with stage 2 CMS cams. couple questions: could i still run them with out a tune?(would it still run fine w/o one) and would i need to notch my pistons?

Hi-Tech cams are what you're thinking of.

Go with Cushman. Jim is a great guy. Extremely helpful. I just bought a set of custom grounds from him.

Shoot him a PM. Stage 2.5 Blower cams don't require the pistons to be notched, not sure about the ones you are looking at though.

Yes 10 inch terror and my understanding per Jim is that all his cams don't require notched pistons.

Those cams do not need notched pistons. You will need a tune or your going to have idle problems.

I have the stage 3 blower cams and didn't need to notch my pistons.
