Re: camshaft 3.1 ???
Deltacams 260 grind will work, although a tune will help alot exspecially the massive lope at idle. Although the lope sounds good it was a tad rich. And once I tuned the idle the lope went away but ran smoother and such. Ive got alot of different bin files saved for a cammed 3.1L.
Heres my delta cam and the idle after camshaft breakin(stock tune)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj-BaobBxF4
Hope it helps ya!

Mine was loping like i had a really big cam in it, and I really didn't.Deltacams are 118$ roughly shipped to your door with new lifters included. Best bang for your buck in my mind.

Re: camshaft 3.1 ???
more then likley u will need a tune to use that 260 cam , if u cant burn ur own chip ask fastedi he may be able to hook u up with a chip since he had to tune his when he installed the 260 cam

Re: camshaft 3.1 ???
most cams with the 3.1 ecm will require u to tune it, the only thing u can really put in the engine is something very close to stock and then its not really worth it

Re: camshaft 3.1 ???
You just get the eprom adapter from moates, so you can pop in a new chip easily...I have alot of bin files for my car with the delta 260 grind that I can burn you, the chips only 5 bucks... Just pay for the chips and stuff, ill burn them for free for you as many times as you need.

My opinion.. deltacam.com a delta 260grind will work fine. And you have a MAF system so you really dont need to tune it. I think project89 had that one or a 272grind in his car before.

Re: camshaft 3.1 ???
0-60. Look faster then your stocker??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtMKAf_Bh6o 0-60s were under 8secs from what i timed, but thats not too accurate. stock 0-60 times vary from high 9 to mid 10seconds.
Im not sure of the increase from the cam it self and every set up/car varys BUT id safely say I personally got about 15-20Hp from the cam and the ported heads. I ported the heads myself, and it was my first time ever doing that so its not to difficult......
