im just looking for a cam that would give me a good amount of force liek the XP....im not doing the swap any more dont have the $

I forgot you're staying N/A. The XP is a boost cam, so you'll need to stick with the GT series. The GT3 is like the XP cam and has a tad more lift on the intake. It requires all the additions as well. The GT1 or GT2 can be run with stock heads and valve train. I'd got Chico's recommendation of a GT2. I'd also mill the heads as he stated. It's at a machine shop anyway, so why not?

Ok so the GT2 is looking like the best choice right now when u say i should ask them to shave off 30k wat exaclty does that mean and do i then need to change the valve train to new(springs rockers...etc)

30k is 30 thousandths of an inch... theyll shave off 30 thousandths of an inch... hardly any at all, but youll definately notice the difference...

GT2 can run on stock valve components just like a VS cam, so long as you stay under 6200rpm (to prevent valve float).

With the heads, you're asking them remove .030" of material from the bottom head. This shrinks the combustion chamber and increases compression.

Plus by shaving the head it'll re true them so you'll get a good head gasket seal.

sounds like a plan ill keep u guys posted with the exact damage on wed and the new gameplan after that thanks again to everyone

ok so the damage report is here......there is no major engine damage below the pistons, obviously the piston needs to be replaced and the valves need to be refinished because of the chips knockin into it.......the head is going to be resurfaced and the the walls are going to be honed......im going to throw a cam in while the engine is pulled but darn this is adding up ill let everyone know how it turns out ill be getting it back early next week when i get back from spring break in california this week......Wish me luck everyone ill keep everyone posted if ur still interested!!

Keep us updated, sounds like good news though. Also, the more pics the better.

the shops doing it now and im in cali so pics are going to be hard to get

Im getting so antsy.....the shop said it would be done early this week havn't heard an update yet im probably going to call today or tomarrow just to see i cant wait!!!.......even though i couldnt do the top end swap man u guys are all kiilling me wat is it 3 guys doing it or have it done right now fewww u guys are awsome but a torture too!!

does a cold air intake make that much of a diff compared to my open K&N setup.....i know cold air is much better but havnt had the time to rig a box yet?

You can leave the open filter for now and build a box around it to allow only cold air in at a later time.

If your not going to the track and just DDing open cone is fine.

for the track a closed air box n pulled hedlight are preferable right?
