I do custom profiles.
As well as Brian over at HiTechMotorsport.com

Our camshafts are very similar in design....& the same price. LOL

how much do you charge?
 
Posted by 93PONY (Member # 60) on 2007-06-19 11:30 PM :
 
I charge $325.

HiTech used to charge $295, but prices on cams have been going up. I'm not sure if their price is still $295 or not.

Customs aren't cheap....so it's best to make sure the combo is not going to change much before ordering. Or....change what needs to be changed when you install the cam.

What exactly are you looking for?

i'm getting AFR heads not sure either 165 or 185 heads... i want a cam that would get me to 6500 RPM... planning on running N/A for now... with stock internals...

Well....AFR's can make an ass-load of power.
Lemme give you a rundown on a few basic 302/306 combos we've run.

Flat-top 306 (10.5:1 compression)
Modified AFR165's (intake portwork with 2.02 valves, Compcams valvesprings, milled heads)
Edelbrock RPM intake, ported lower to match heads
70MM TB
Ported BBK longtubes with off-road H & dumps
Custom HiTech smogable cam (224/222 111LSA)
Made 340/340 Rear wheel

Stock bottom end
Fully ported TFS heads with upgraded valvetrain, milled for 10:1 compression
Typhoon intake (Edelbrock RPM knock-off)
1 3/4 longtubes
Custom smogable camshaft (226/222 112LSA)
Made 315RWHP & ran 11's on motor

Stock bottom end
Edelbrock performer heads with exhaut port-work, upgraded valvesprings, milled for 10:1 compression
Ported shorty headers
Box-stock RPM intake, 70MM TB
Comp 286HR camshaft (230/230 110LSA)
Made 314RWHP & ran 11's on motor

Stock bottom end
AFR165's with upgraded valvetrain
Edelbrock RPM intake w/ported lower
1 3/4 longtubes (ported), off-road exhaust
70MM TB & a powerpipe
Custom HiTech cam (232/228 110SLA)
Made 335RWHP on a 180K mile stock shortblock
Car ran 12.2 on DR's the only time it was at the track

All of these cars were in the 3100-3300lb range with driver, ran an electric fan, the correct rear end gears & all the other bolt-ons you can get (& then some home-made stuff).

The smaller cams will pass smog, the bigger ones will not. The bigger ones also required piston notching.
The built 306 had other 'special' mods done to the bottom end to make a little extra power.

Depends on how far you want to go. But I believe the fastest stock shortblock N/A car is still in the low 11's....might be one in the 10's now.

AFR185's would be my choice with some upgrades & machine work.
Notch the pistons, install a crank scraper, find an Edelbrock RPM intake & have the lower ported to match the heads, 70+MM TB, a quality cold-air inlet (no BBK), full longtubes (ported), off-road exhaust (all manderal bent) the custom 232/228 110LSA camshaft, electric fan, underdrive pullies, 30lb injectors, 80MM mass-air, etc. That combo should have no problems making enough power to run high 11's @114+mph on motor in a full weight Fox. (3400lbs) Even faster in a lighter car.

The real key to having a fast N/A car is making it lightweight.

also how far is fair oaks from san jose?

The lower intake of the RPM 2 is HUGE. The ports are larger than the AFR's....you'll have to have the AFR's ported to match the RPM 2 lower. & the RPM2 upper is super restrictive.

We ran one on a 319ci N/A motor I built for my wife's GT. Ported AFR185's, custom cam, RPM2, Longtubes, etc. Made 388RWHP.

Portwork pricing depends on what I have to do. I typically do not like doing it....but I've been doing a LOT of porting lately. LOL Minor porting, port-matching no big deal. Full portwork on a set of Iron heads...hell no.

Fair Oaks is just east of Sacramento.

388 is pretty good N/A... yea the bottom intake is huge.... the only thing i would proly do to the AFR's is gasket match and thats about it....

ill give you a list of my mods see if they are enough to get me to mid 12's with AFR's 185 and a custom cam.....

RPM 2 Intake
1.7 RR's
70mm TB/EGR Spacer
76mm MAF
Shorty Headers
Full Exhaust 2.5 inch
TKO Tranny
Aluminum Flywheel
Aluminum UDP's
3.73's ( getting them installed soon)
Fuel Pressure regulator
And Cold Air Intake and i think thats it....

Oh yeah...there's plenty there to go mid/low 12's.... More likely 11's with the correct cam/valvetrain.

Oh yeah, if you put that coupe in the 3100-3300 range w/o full drag racing suspension like the other cars listed and it would be in the high 11's also. [burnout]
 
Posted by jmcclesk (Member # 1355) on 2007-06-21 01:12 AM :
