if your doing a cam swap, do roller rockers and have some one do some head work while its off.

Stroke it and be done with it. 505 makes sells a nice camshaft for the 4.6L stroker, runs like a dream and noticeable power increase. You will have it all apart, why not. I did, and I love it.

thanks man.. ill probably go with them.. and threres only one for fuel injected so its not so hard to choose jajaja

so for this cam http://www.compperformancegroupstore...ode=A6CAMSx4X4 do i need new valve springs or its just a direct swap? since i dont want to do any thing like that a this time...

since the other 3 cams say: "not for fuel injected" :-(

so i guess they are hydraulic from factory.. to expensive to do here in the US and i wont be close to Baja any time soon to do it there..

so let me ask u guys this. sorry o/p...but...

with just a cam swap, what kind of H/P #'s are we looking at.

what kind of H/P with roller rockers,ported and pollished head, gasket matched manifold, bigger t-body and full exhaust..with header.

i also have a 99 auto. and i allready have neon injectors and full exhaust minus a header.
thank you.
