im trying to make my mind up to go with stage 1 cams or level zero motorsports tri-flows cams i was going to get stage 2 cams but after looking at haveing to buy springs and pay someone to tune it i look away from them becsue im not lookin to drop that much out at the time so i was looking for your input on the cams
sorry yes its a ecotec my bad
dont go through LZM... they are pretty much dead. and even if they were not... they are pretty much dead to us as a community after the BS pulled with the engine mounts.
all they do is go through www.coltcams.com to get you're stockers re-ground. talk to Geoff, he knows all about our grinds etc. and it is even cheaper.
IMO? dont even bother. nobody around here is making omfg numbers with any these cams, never have. if i were you i would get over to comp cams and get a real option purchased for you're engine.
Trailer Queen corvette wanna-be with 40 coats of wax and powdercoating that soaks in.
what is the max lift a stock eco valve sping will take
PJ was running the tri flows....he didnt have high numbers but he did have a really flat power curve n the car pulled like hell.
^^^ true. i forgot about that.

thats the whole point of the triflow cams. its not for big numbers at all. the design of the cam tends to keep the power curve somewhat like it is (or flatter) and just bump up the whole curve on the power scale.
May want to check on www.TurboTechRacing.com we carry they very popular comp cams...

Stock cams. Any aftermarket cams for the eco will push the stock springs beyond their limit and will only be a matter of time before they fail.

They are supposed to promote swirl and torque....while the dont give high numbers the flattening of the curve gives better acceleration. It might not be good for high HP numbers but itll give you good 1/4 mie times. Its like more constant steady power throughout the rpm range where as other cams start with low power and build it through the rpm range. Now these might not be great for high power but certainly a great alternative for a fun street car.
