Try Street Lethal Performance. They are near New Castle, Terry is a great guy! They are one of the sponsors for this site.

X2, Street Lethal would be a great place to go. Shouldnt be too far from you.

[87gt]

ok thanks i will give him a call.

Might be a little more cost efficient to just save up and do a heads,cam, intake swap all at once. With just a cam, you really won't be thrilled from the SOTP difference imo.

If you gave us a rundown of your mods we might be able to steer you in a better direction...

just the basics, mass air conversion, exhaust,electric fan,130amp alt, underdrives and smog delete, cold air intake. 3.73 gears. aluminum driveshaft, sub frames and basic suspension stuff. i did talk to the guys from street lethal and they are very knowlegeable and seem like a good place to deal with.

As John alluded to, a cam swap is the last thing I would do. Might pick up 10-20 horsepower with a cam swap, heads and intake alone would make 250-280 rwhp, easily. More money, but the cam is just a noisemaker from a financial standpoint with stock heads/intake. The factory cam is actually pretty good. I went 12.70s easy with it and stock rockers with GT40ps and Explorer intake and others have gone much faster.

I say wait till you can do the heads and intake as well.

Them boys at Streetlethal suck! I wouldn't take anything to them if they were the last shop on earth.:biglaugh:


J/K!

They are the best as far as i'm concerned. I have had 3 Stangs and they have done outstanding work on all. The owner even made a house call one time when my car wouldn't start. They also did some great work on my GN.

Just take them some Little Debbie Snacks and you'll be there friend forever.:D

[87gt]

ya im gonna give them my buisiness, they seem really nice to deal with. now if the weather would get better i can get my car to them.

Yea you dont have an lsx that benefits from a cam swap so greatly.. If your not doing h/c/i all at once, no point in doing a cam only.
