You said that there are "better" choices. Just wondering which ones people prefer. I am looking into getting a bigger cam for my GTA so i just have a few questions. How big could i go with my stock heads? I was told about a 510 lift? Does anyone know about how much it costs for labor for putting a cam in. Thanks a lot!

I am no expert but I don't see anyone runnning 510 lift on stock heads . I got new springs and screw in studs . You could pull out a pressed in stud at them lifts . SDPC set em up with some nice springs,retainers and locks for the cam . They sell the ZZ4 .


I am not being a dick here but your best bet is to talk with someone at 1-800-compcams . Even if you don't buy one there ...you can be set on the right path .


Also ...shoudn't this be in another forum ? This is for NOS , Superchargers and, turbos .

No...A cam can be a "Power Adder".
