    How much will i see...?

    ok got a gt2-3 cam waiting for install along with rods and 918 springs...how much power will i see with the cam running n/a?

    also is there anyone out there who would help with install...got some cash and a case of beer(your choice).

    I would like to do it as cheap as possible but if it comes down to it TRT will end up getting my money(TRT did quote a good price but after buying everything, looking to save a few bucks).

    Also Allen thanks for the tune, it ROMPS Hard and OFTEN...look out Dodge Boys theres a new player in town...hahahaha

    Hmmmm...with your current mods installed, you are probably looking at about 65hp-70hp at the the motor after the cam install. Have you tuned the PCM for the cam? Or are you going to have to send it back after the cam is in?
    And the install...if you need help, I can assist... I am in Arlington, FW (used to live in Burleson a few months ago) area... I have done about 6 cam swaps in the past 6 months, so I am sure we could get it done pretty easily... You wouldn't happen to have an air compressor? PM me if you need any extra details...

    i think the tune must be very important, because i haven't gotten my tune yet, and i do feel more power but not 60-70 worth. but then again i am way past what my injectors can handle. never mind me, I'll shut up now.

    Just get TRT to do the whole thing. You're paying for two tunes otherwise. Dustin will do it right.

    If you have paid Allen for a tune, just get a re-tune for the cam. I like money just as much as the next guy, but I dont want you to spend more than you have to. What did I quote you; labor only, or parts and labor. We have been running a little special. $300 for cam and spring install. Plus any parts, but you have those. You will also need water pump gaskets, crank bolt, and coolant.

    yeah, if you have a tune already get a rough tune from Allen to add with the cam and then drive it down there and have Allen do a speed density tune on it. It will cost a little extra but the engine will run soooo much better.

    worst part is i cant use the cam/springs/rods till after x-mas... they were a gift from my bro...and the wife is jerking at the chain to make sure they stay under the tree....

    Billy i saw your x-mas pricing and started to slobber...so i order an eaton lsd and richmond 3.73's...hope to get you guys to install them....i was qoute a ridiculous price for install of them from the stealership...they wanted 1300....
