As the budget now allows for another mod to the car, I was thinking of getting a cam.

The car I have is an 86 Z28 LG4 with just over 100,000 miles.

I've got an Edelbrock Performer intake, open-element air cleaner, flowtech headers, full 2.5" exhaust, and stock 2.73 rear.

What would you recommend in terms of a cam? I want something that will idle decently, but have some good pull, and be able to pass emissions.

Any suggestions?

Also, how many hours of labour would a good shop be charging me?

Thanks!

 

Comp XE 262...

Do it yourself..alot cheaper and you learn a little more about you ride.Do a search..alot of info on swapping cams..not hard at all.Most shops will usually charge for about 4-5 hours labor around me at $55 an hour.

 

The XE256 or XE262 would be a good choice.

Best mod for you now would be some 3.42 gears.

 

Totally agree on the gear recomendation. You would feel a huge differance. I think that all of the V6 cars with 5 spds. have 3.42 gears in the back. I have seen a couple of them at our local U Pull it yard. Pretty easy job to change too.
