The cam is a nice mod.. Expect to spend 200 for installation because any good mechanic will require you replace your timming chain too if you have any miles on your car. I got a double roller for my 2.8 and it is nice.. The Crane 2030 cam, Coyles double roller and comp cams 1.52 roller tip rockers would be a very nice combo for high 15 sec runnings..

Only $200 for installation? HEckm it's a mid-level job on your own, but if they'd really only charge that much, it's almost wrth it to hand it over for a weekend. Are you sure labor would only be $200 for a cam?

i wouldnt reccomend a novice try installing a cam themselves, its really not that big of a job, but if you dont know what your doing, you could easyly screw something up

How does anyone ever install a cam for the first tiem if a novice at it should never do it?
Cmon have faith in yourselves!!!!! GEEZ, you think i was born knowing about cars?? First thing i did on mine was install headers and a few months later i dove head first into an engine swap. If some slack jawed yokel at the gas station can do this stuff you guys can too.
Youll need: Tools, like basic hand tools, ratchets
youll also need a harmonic balancer puller which is like 10 bux from the autoparts store
a chiltons manual, AND SOME FREAKIN CONFIDENCE!
