Is there any company i need to look out for as far as a crappy grind? i was thinkin about going with cushman stage 1s(he used to make vts cams) but im still looking around..

any input would be appr.

[SCobraVT99]

i heard chrusman's are good...ask black_stang_02 i believe he bought them and has them installed...might even had a vid witha sound clip as well

[H0SS302]

ill do that. iv just seem that MOST companies have a staged grind.. but i dont really understand what the numbers mean exactly..so i cant tell which one is the better of the cams.

[black_stang_02]

Get the stage 2 cams. they sound much nicer. expecially with you SLP exhaust.

I gots em... VT stage 2 n/a cams, way better then the st 1.

But if there is a hot cam you want, I know of a better set... but its a secret.

you might wanna check out hitech stage 2's...those are the ones i was going to go with..comp cam does their grinds.

[black_stang_02]

I was about to say the same thing. heres a link. Hitech cams they have stage 1, 2, and 3.

hot cam.... non pi comp xe274s

but seriously, go with stage 2s and do the valve springs. pick up the 25 rwhp and call it a day. I think they even gained 23 rwhp on a stock as a rock gt

i dont want stage 2.. thats not an option

What he said. And the install is not that bad. I installed my VT stage 2 cams and Comp springs in my driveway. You’ll need the OTC 7928 Valve spring compressor. I bought one for my install and it was well worth it.

i understand where yall are coming from.. but i really dont want stage 2s. all i want is about 10-15 extra hp to finish the car off. im looking at more than 1k to just get stage 2s working like they should..not including instal(cams springs tune)

also.. i just took a look at the hitech site and those look like some great gains with just lts and stage 1s... i have full bolt-ons so i hope i would see around those numbers, maybe even poke into the 290s?

with a higher reving cam(every site iv seen puts stage ones around 2500-6000rpm) would a lower intake be worth the money?

No reason why you cant do a Stage 2 for the same cost as a Stage 1. Only cost difference is going to be the springs, for a 2v thats only like $250 or so extra.

Stage 1s still require a tune.

As for the original thread topic. Cushman is great, but just about any out of the box grind from Crower or Comp Cam will put down similar numbers if not the same numbers.

lol 250 is a lot of money for me...

so pretty much all the stage 1 grinds are gonna be the same? i looked up those hitech grinds and they look to be pretty shweeet. 270 to the wheels on a gt with just lts and cams... not bad


heres one thing i dont understand..

what are the differences between the CM and the hitech? like what do the numbers mean

Specs: 230/224 duration, 112 lobe sep, .550/.500 lift (hitech)
CM:540/550 lift, 224/226 .050" duration, 110 LSA

[D-Money03tx]

you know i was looking at that CMS cam stage 2...cuz thats the stage ill be going with...and those specs are 560/.575 lift, 225/235 .050" duration, 108 LSA

would those work on a 01 gt with no PTV issues? cuz that seems like a high lift...not trying to thread jack...sorry if i am

[timpryor]

cody, save the extra 250 bucks and get the stage 2's

[D-Money03tx]

i would like to see you say it one more time plz ...kidding, kidding

[H0SS302]

NO NO NO NO NO NO lol..

i have no desire to go past stage 1... so just leave it be. if i really wanted to i could.. but i DONT WANT TO

now does n e one know the answer to this ?....

[D-Money03tx]

ive been reading alot about cams so ill give this a shot, i think the hitechs will be better performing...because the intake lift is higher and longer and obviously the more air the better....where as the CMs intake lift is shorter then the hitechs...BUT the exhaust lift on the hitechs are shorter then the CM...now both are SLIGHT difference from each other...what i dont know is does a slight difference make a BIG difference and i also im not sure about the lobe seperation angles and what they mean... but im still researching so ill be interested to see some other info on these numbers as well

Lotsa money just for 10-15hp..
