Timing Belt Change - Cam's Too?
#2
Throttle Body and port match.

If you're going to change the cams, might as well rip off the head, have it rebuilt and a port and polish.

A throttle body isn't expensive, plus doing the work for a port and polish isn't hard if you have the right tools.

As for cams, lotsa money. I'm in the same boat at the moment, looking at either Stage 2 or 3 cam for my SPI. Cost is going to be about $350.00 cdn for just the cam, couple hundred more bucks for better springs, seals, and lifters.

A UDP is still best bang for the buck for HP.

To give you an idea. I'm going to be ordering the following for my car:

Stage 2 or 3 cam (and accessories)
UDP
Straight Pipe
SCT Xcal2

In total, i'm looking at about $1400.00 USD for the setup. The cam and accessories make up about half of that number. Not sure what kind of gains I'll see from this tho.
