I have a set of brand new Euro-R cams sitting around and was wondering if it would even be worth it to put it in when all I have are the simple bolt-ons and a stock engine (no head work w/ stock internals)? Let me know what you guys think.

 

any ideas?

 

...yes

yes, it would be worth running those cams.

they should be the same as type s cams, you can run those w/ stock valvetrain and depending on tunning, you should pick up about 5hp or so up top.

 

i don't get it

you tell him thats its worth it and then say he'll only get 5hp and thats with tuning

i thought you would get more than 5hp imho

be if your happy with 5hp then do it

what do you expect from oem cams? may get a couple more than that, depends on setup and tunning, every motors different.

 

so do you recommend any type of cam gears to go with these and how hard is it to install cams? Do you need any special tools?

 

you can run stock camgears, but if you have never installed cams before i would recommend having someone experienced give you a hand. dont forget to adjust your valves.

 

would it help to get those aftermarket adjustable cam gears and if so, which one do you recommend? thnx for your help btw.

 

you can move the power around w/ cam gears, may be able to get a little more out of them. i like crower cam gears, they use 12 pt arp bolts, new design easy to read, and affordable. i would rather put my money towards an intake manifold or ex. manifold, would get more out of that.

 

hes already got the cams though....i think it would be a good mod....you will feel some more grunt so i say yes....why not anyways....its not like its that hard to do....

i never gained anything adjusting gears w/ those cams, but like i said every motors different. i personaly would rather put money towards an intake manifold if i was on a budget, you would gain alot more from an intake mani.

 

i hear the intake manifolds do alot for those motors...id go with that also....

yeah, but people seem to forget about things like that....they will have $4000 worth of cams and pistons and all on a "modified" stock manifold....that thing just doesnt cut it....

 

it's all about itb's y0
