i have around $ 1000 & im planning on ordering these (see the title) , but i have a couple of questions in mind....
first, is this the best company for making cams for the 05-08 GT ?
second, when installing the camshaft, is this http://www.lethalperformance.com/pa...05-08-gt-xtreme-energy-stage-i-camshafts.html
all i require, or i need to buy some more stuff ?!


thanks for the help guys, & please if any has any suggestions im listening....

unless you plan on changing them yourself then $1k won't be enough, the valve springs need to be changed according to that site and they weren't included in the price. if you were going that far then I would go to a CC Stage 2-3 or BBR Stage 2 cams. Comp does make a set where you don't have to change the valve springs, they are called the NSR (No Springs Required) cams
They are on the top row to the right

those NSR are innovative stuff..
thanks for the advice..
some people adviced me to complete the exhauste, LT's with x pipe, any thoughts ?!

the exhaust would help but the cams will give you more hp

id better probably save the $$$ & buy FR cylinder headrs..... comments ?
because i am planning to buy the heads, but what i dont know is amount of power these heads can give...
anybody ?!

the frpp hot rod cams are out too which use stock springs. but i havent seen much about them.

 

[oman_cobra]

so which cylinder heads are best for street/strip use ?
FRPP ? AFR ?

 

[US-1]

Either one. Pretty much everyone doing port work on these heads is using similar CNC patterns. Differences between FRPP, AFR, Livernois, BBR, Fox Lake, etc....are going to be exceptionally small.

This is what I have figured too. I am now looking at the springs and retainers etc as I guess they will prevent valve float at high rpm?...the FRPPs use stock springs and retainers which would limit cam choice

thanks guys for the responses, i think i'll go FRPP for the heads & cams
