all depends if ur going stage 1 no but if ur going any higher then that u need to get new valves springs retainers and the such to handle the higher lift without valve float

xworkoutxfiendx

i would prob jus go with stage 1. what kind of gains should i expect?

BLKLS

Not much. Maybe like 10hp I think. It's a lot of work and money to spend and not gain all that much. Better spending more and going with stage 2.

also depends on your year. 05-06 is easier than 07+.

I read somewhere awhile back that 07+ would cost a lot more because the "key" end for the cam position sensor had to be cut off and welded onto the new cams. True?

xworkoutxfiendx

250 they pretty much brand new.

i got an 06 too

Pressed off but yes it needs to be removed and put on. I had heard that bates was doing it for people.

At a minimum I would get valve springs and a tune. If you're planning on taking the motor beyond 7500 rpm then you would need to add neutral balance shafts to that list as well.

I've been contemplating cams myself but not sure which ones I want to go with for my build

huckernage

i m cammed stg2 N/a and a supercharged

you need a tune and i suggest a TB from LSJ

If your an 07 or up crower said he can take our cams and re grind them to anything we want

07cobaltguy

I thought with regrinds there is issues with the lash or base circle. I cant remember exactly.

Been stage 1 cammed several years now. I have issues with sometimes wanting to stall and when running the ac I wants to at all when stopping. I have the 2.4 tb and manifold. I been thinking about the lsj but will that fix the problem idk

How's the power increase?

Has Vince tried to resolve your idle issue?

huckernage

yes he did at 80%. still minor issue but overall, it improved big time
it is still fragile when it is not warm up.

every car are differents. i have reflashed 2 SC cammed stg3 NA and both run fine.

power increase is very noticable compare to a body that run a similar setup.

@ copson: yes a LSJ TB can improve your idling. it did with mine.

copson20

What did Vince do about improving your idle? Or was that with the lsj

huckernage

with 2,4 TB its was horrible. lsj TB improve a lot without touch up

but one day. i thing i have seen that my fuel trim was lean at idle.

do u have a wideband? you can see if you are lean.

do you have a fidanza flywheel? rpm fall faster and maybe harder to get right


a good .DTL is idling - WOT - cruise
