How much HP are they worth? Is there any other mods that need to be done along with cams other than a tune?

 

heres what I would like...VT Stage 2 Camshafts (SOHC)

Hot street cam, needs 3.55+ gears. 2400+ stall. Intake, exhaust, computer and spring upgrade recommended. Agressive idle. RPM range 3000-6500+.

Also, what is 2400+ stall?
When they say computer upgrade does that refer to a chip?
Where it says RPM Range 3000-6500+, does that indicate the range that they start producing power?

 

That's a high RPM range if you plan on driving the car around town

 

so the 3000rpms is its idle range with cams?

 

Well if you go with the stage II you are looking at changing the valve springs and a couple other things. Best thing to do is stick with the stage I and you will be pleased. A full bolt on GT with stage I cams should produce 300 plus or minus 10 hp.

 

PM MdValdosta. He knows a lot about the VT stage I cams. He should be able to answer all your questions.

 

ok cool..good looking out JD

 

VT stage 1's are worth about 20 - 25 rwhp... stage 2's around 25-30 rwhp. Stage2's may make more peak hp but unless your gonna be revving up past 6300 rpm then your better off with stage 1's.

 

With stage 1s will I still be reving at about 3k? Are cams a good idea for a daily driver? Also what is the 2400 stall that is says is required.

 

Ok found them...heres what they say:

VT Stage 1 Camshafts (SOHC)

Many people wonder if its worth it to puts cams in their 2V SOHC motor. Many say, "that's not for me". When you really look at them though, cams are one of the best bang for buck upgrades you can do. This is especially the case if you have done all the "bolt-ons" and are still looking for more power.

The VT Stage 1 Camshafts are great because they give you the power from 2500-6000 RPMs where you need it the most without sacrificing bottom end power. These cams will work with the stock computer with a tune. 3.55+ gear ratio recommended.
