Cam Swap On A Budget


Fireman31

Recommended Posts

Good ole' QWKSSLVR is finally gonna get shafted! I am putting everything together for my cam swap, and plan on sticking to a budget of $1500 or less. Here is the list of parts......

 

TSP 228R custom ground COMP Cam

PAC 1218 Beehive Valvesprings

TSP Chromemoly .080 Wall Hardened Pushrods

42# Multec II Fuel Injectors

Walbro 255 Intank Fuel Pump Upgrade

ASP 25% Underdrive Crank Pulley/Balancer

GM Performance Parts Cam Swap Gasket Set

 

I plan to re-use the stock timing set along with the stock valve spring retainers and locks. Sir Charlie Wheatley is already on board for all of my tuning needs.

 

 

Here is the pricing breakdown.......

 

$300 Cam(bought new from another member)

$100 Fuel Injectors(bought new from another member)

$250 Spring & Pushrod kit

$140 Fuel Pump

$205 UDP/Balancer

$50 Gasket set

$125 Misc items(oil/filter, Dexcool, etc.)

PRICELESS - Shenanigans/Laughs/Install help from the area SS guys

-------------------------

$1170 Grand Total

 

 

The install will be happening sometime in the next few months. I want to hit the track a few more times with my current setup, and I also need to hit the dyno for a baseline.......Stay tuned! :chevy:

Are the injectors and fuel pump required for that cam? Curious cause i was also going to be swapping in that cam in a few months.

 

Fuel pump isn't really required but it can't hurt, and seeing how my SSS has 52k on the clock, it's kind of a preventative maintenance thing too. The fuel injectors are a must, since the increase in power will require more fueling. My stock injectors are near maxed out on my current setup, last log we ran at the track they were at 98% duty cycle......

With bigger injectors and fuel pump, youll be able to bump up your shift points to accomodate the sweet spot for that cam
