cam for VS

[1991_Vn2nV]

yeh my original plan was to get a set of rockers but then was told a cam would be more effective. and yeh an 8 is an option but im on my p's and dont think id be able to drive it same goes with the charger. but yeh might just get the cam done then the heads in a month or so depending how i go.

depends how yours is, if its doing ok then it would be fine. i think you'd need a V8 torque converter and input shaft though.

oh ok cool might look into a new engine then maybe super charged 6 or an 8. reckon id be able to find one and fit it for under 2 grand??

i honestly dont think you would no, not if you paid someone to remove your current engine and install the new one....that would be over well over $500 just for that id say.
how attached to your car are you? you could sell it and use your $2k ontop of what you get for you car to buy a V8...probably not a super6, but you'd get a V8.

yeh i kinda like it thats the thing its in really good nick paints perfect and drives really nice. tough decision

i would still go the cam with a lil port polish job, should be able to get a tune in there for 1500.
