do the maf swap before you do the cam.. unless you want to guild a speed density motor like i am gonna try to do.

If your doing a cam without heads it's a waste of time. Wait and do the whole package together or you will be disapointed at the outcome.

why pay 350-500 for a custom cam in a near stock engine..there isn't much hp gain if any....do all you need it a small daul pattern cam the stage 1 cam is what should work unless you need to pass emissions than a single pattern like the not so great A,B,C cams..if you need an E-cam I have a new one in box for 125.00
