I would wait until you upgrade your heads b/f changing the cam.<br /><br />You can install 1.7 rr's on your stock heads. This will give you a bit more valve lift and reduce friction. It is a relatively easy upgrade compared to changing cams. I would recommend doing this at the same time you upgrade your intake to save some time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ALLEYEZONMYCOBRA</b> <br /><small>Member # 5068</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,2,24,17,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> what if you were to install a X or Z cam...i know those are hi cams, but is there any special things you gotta upgrade, with those cams?????...<br />would one of those cams be worth it?? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ALLEYEZONMYCOBRA</b> <br /><small>Member # 5068</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,2,24,17,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i mean if ur gonna slip ina cam,might as well put ina big one right?? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>AaronC</b> <br /><small>Member # 86</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,2,24,17,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> A cam on stock heads is definitely worth it.

The stock valve spring's were barely getting the job done when they were new! 17 Year's and 100,000-200,000 miles later with an even more aggresive cam or increasing valve lift with 1.7 rocker's does'nt make much sense. Hell if You are changing the cam and You pull the head's off it's a snap to have someone pop new spring's in and they are only around 100 buck's plus labor, or they have a tool to change them with the head's still on the car which Me and a friend did on My car a while back. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ALLEYEZONMYCOBRA</b> <br /><small>Member # 5068</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,2,24,18,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> wheres the best place to get some springs.. for a good price <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>silverLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 3207</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,2,24,18,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by AaronC:<br /><strong> A cam on stock heads is definitely worth it.
