Cam questions.....

[DRTYH0]

Are they really worth the trouble of installing and do they make a significant difference. For me the sound of it through my exhaust would be just enough. Does anyone here have one installed???

 

[JennaBear]

I have a Comp Cam installed.

 

[DRTYH0]

I was actually looking at them earlier. Im so tempted to buy one because the price is great. Im just not sure if it will be worth the hassle of installing it. I just want to improve performance and gas mileage..MOre gas Mileage than performance..How do you like it?

 

[JennaBear]

You will have to do more to your engine than just a cam to see a difference. I also coupled it with headers and new cats and new lifters, and tune. I am really happy with mine, added both high end and low end.

 

[DRTYH0]

I figured...Are new cats necessary? After everything is installed will I still be able to get a custom tune from you guys..Or because of the cam will I have to take it to a local Dyno and get it tuned there?

 

[JennaBear]

No new cats arent necessary. Just easier for me to put them on the new Y pipe.

Yep you can still get a tune through us, but I would strongly suggest getting a cable tune with these specialized mods.

 

[DRTYH0]

Awesome! Thanks pretty much all my questions have been answered..1 more questions how does it do for a daily driver? I do alot of Highway driving..

I picked mine out for that very reason. The Tahoe is my commuter vehicle so I needed it to be efficient but still have the powerband. I have been very happy with my choice!

 

[DRTYH0]

Thanks for all the info! You been a great help.

 

[JennaBear]

Not a problem!

What are your MPGs Jenna? And do all your mods change your maintenance at all? (does it require more maintenance with the mods?)

 

[JennaBear]

I am getting 17-19 City and 21-23 HWY. No more maintenance than normal! Mobil 1 changes and good gas.

i really want to get the mods on my motor before the economy falls apart and i have no money :mpr: hahaha... and your truck is the one i always revert to because you have the exact platform as me, 04 Z.... Before i do the mods, though, i want to get all the maintanance done, i am almost done, need to do the tranny fluid, diff, and joints and than its mod time...!
