Default OK...

I decided to Cam my 5.0 H.O 92 fox. I originally wanted to turbo it, but don't want to spend the cash. Any one have any suggestions of a type of kit? Do I need any supporting mods? And how much will it cost? Also is it a difficult do it yourself job, cause I have novice mechanical experience (changed an alternator once ).

The trick flow/holley kits will usually run a little over 2K. The kits are designed to work well together so you dont have to worry about PTV problems or anything, but if your looking for the most power possible youll probably want to piece a H/C/I package together yourself. Also doing this is not a small job it takes a lot of time, a lot of tools, and a good understanding of what your doing. Either start doing some research and learn the steps you need to take or find someone who has done it before to give you a hand

IMO i'd piece together your own kit as the results will be much better
