Stage 1,2,3 cams

[[JUDGE]]

Hey im jst enquiring about eh stage 1,2,3 cams how much they cost and the gain in power, ive herd each one puts out a fair bit of power, and am i able to go straight to stage 3 or do u have to go through each one? thx guys

with doing cams you can throw any stage in no problems, but you have other things to consider,things like:
chip
stall (stage 3 requires stall)
diff ratio has to be changed
intake exaust
ect

just to clear a few things up...

cams dont "put out" any power at all. they let the air/fuel intake mixture in and exhaust out, via the valves.

and there's no real consistent "stages" with cams. as there is with anything automotive. all the camshaft manufacturers havent held a meeting to discuss how lumpy all stage 2 cams will be compared to stage 1s. for example, AVOs stage 3 cam is quite close to Nismos stage 1 for the RB30. Or, if "workshop A" had a "stage 1 horsepower rebuild engine," and "workshop B" had a "stage 1 horsepower rebuild engine," what's to say they'll be of the same spec?

stages are relative. I'M up stage 2 of the build in MY car.
get it?

sorry bout that, i just don't understand why people always refer to stages all the time when they dont mean shit.

but, in reference to your cam thing, the lumpier the cam, the longer the valves will stay open, which obviously can result in more power, but pretty bad idle and fuel comsumption and driveablilty sometimes too. talk to a good workshop or manufacturer and discuss what you need

Correct!!! When talking cams, if you are going to refer to them in 'stages' specify what company its from.
