(well i would search for this but.. the search engine isnt working.)

i justgot my new camshaft (e303) in the mail and i have a trickflow manifold on its way.
and i was wondering what are some tips & tricksi should know while installing the cam and what else i need to do a cam setup?
like new tappers? push rods? rockers? bigger throttle body? timing chain?


i have full bbk headers, flowmaster mufflers,2 1/2inch piping w/ xpipe, 3g alt, 9mm wires, electric fan, bbk pullies, new water pump, cai.......optima batt.

everything else is stock

347gt90

I would suggest 1.7 roller rockers and a new roller timing set. The 1.7 rockers will increase the lift to about .523".

-1.7 roller rockers, soak old roller lifters in parts cleaner for a week.

-new water pump

-new chain and sprockets, . (16hp and 32lb torque gain for above)

-.550 lift valve springs

If you have stock heads, you can get some GT-40P and matching headers with above. 40 hp and 57 lb (torque gain total for cheap).

thanks, for the link that helps alot.

yeah i put in a new water pump like 2k ago. (forgot bout that 1 )

eventually i will get new heads but not with this upgrade. im thinking afr heads.

do you thinki would need to replace lifters or pushrods or springs?

What about replacing those valve springs?........

With that new cam I think it would be a good idea to run some stronger valve springs.

aode08

actually, a requirement.

AMEN!....otherwise, it would fall in a "ricer" type of upgrade......
