Arrow Lets talk cam(s) and cam gear(s)

This is something I would be interested in doing, granted reliability and idle were not sacrificed. What gains can be expected from these two mods?

I read somewhere on here where cams,cam gears, port and polished head, throttle body and intake mani can yield a good 50 HP, not sure if that's true...

Enlighten a noob.

if your a 2.2 id suggest a delta cam regrind. Call em up and tell them what you have ( mods wise ) and how aggressive you want it and they'll do a nice regrind for you.

Search man, your only option would be to get 3.2 Type S cams and get them machined

He's right...

You can get the cams for $250 new from the dealership, and have them machined for about $120...

Makes sense. So after i/h/e plus cam and cam gear, what hp gains can be expected?

Not bad. So coupled with a good i/h/e set up you can possible yield a little more than 8-10 hp right ? I'm just curious at this point, `cause come spring I plan on adding i/h/e(among other little mods) all at once and I wanna see If I should waste my time and money adding a cam and cam gear only to achieve minimal gains in hp, ya dig?

I gained 25whp with intake, headers, exhaust, pullies, and vafc2 tuned. There is a thread with my dyno on the boards. The camshafts tuned with those mods should be around 12-15whp gain.

As of now they don't make cam gears for our cars (3.0's). But someone out on the eastcoast had a custom one made for his car. He ran a 13.3 in his 3.0 with a 125 shot. He is currently selling his car.

Damn, not bad cocoa. At first I thought you were being sarcastic when I read "I gained 25whp with intake..." I have a 2.3 so I know they have cams out there, just a matter of finding one. A good 30-40 dont soud bad at all with i/h/e, pullies, cam and cam gear, and of course a good tuning. The 2.x needs it bad.
