    2 can’t afford fuel
    3 too much power
    4 car wants to go fast

    Reason 1: Keep the car off, it's quiet. No cops.
    Reason 2: Keep the car off, you save gas.
    Reason 3: Keep the car off, no power to get used to.
    Reason 4: Drive a Prius.
    All seriousness, I drive a stage 3 cammed 5th gen and love every reason. I didn't get it cammed in hopes to get more than 16-20mpg combined.

      Go to the store to buy the oil and filter, jack my shit up, going under the car, pulling out some tools to swap everything, then clean up because it's not really possible to get the filter out without dripping atleast some oil on the driveway, then button everything up and pour the used oil into the old container and take it to the store to dispose of it. Yeah I'd rather pay the 20-30$ difference of someone else doing it and me checking the level after to make sure I'm happy with it.

    Your blaming some things on the cam when your tune should definitely be better dialed in. There are a multitude of factors that any competent tuner can dial in better for you. To me a couple of issues that need to be addressed by symptom I.e injection timing dialed in, spark needs revamping, idle under over to get the chop a little more refined.also dialing in your vve will help alot with transient fueling.

      @@musclebone7875 No. People should start being concerned about gearing when they get their car tubbed and start putting tall tires on it. For an automatic, a higher stall converter is what needs to be looked at when cams start getting large. If it's a manual, then a performance clutch is the answer. Gearing is to compensate for tire size.

    A cammed automatic muscle car. Yuck. Fuel cost has never been an issue for me but I can Totally relate with the car becoming lurchy at low rpm. It's annoying. When cruising slow by a park or want to keep the car quiet at night or through a parking lot and you want to be in 2nd or 3rd gear or when your T56 had fucking skip shift an you go from 1st to 4th you can't because the car jumps all over hell an wants to die.

    Before my 2 newborns I sold my Mustang GT which had heads and cams, but I swear I will never do that to any of my cars again because it opened up a lot of problems and makes your car are unreliable and as I got older it is a waste of money!! And modifying your car you cannot daily drive them no more!! But i do miss the speed, I am in a Camry now which is a lot slower but I have reliability and And does good on gas Because kids are expensive as hell!! It was fun while it lasted lol.

      Heads and cams only make your car unreliable if you don't know what you are doing. If the correct partd are selected, it's done right, and tuned correctly, the car isnt any more "unreliable" than it was before.

  • @Frantissimo
    @Frantissimo 3 роки тому +5

    cams dont make your engine "louder" just sounds different because of lobe separation and duration being modified. bigger cams tend to draw more vacuum so idle struggles. still draws a lot of attention though since your car sounds like its misfiring at idle but no not louder.

    • @davelowets
      @davelowets 2 роки тому

      The fuck they don't.... A big cam allows much more airflow, which WILL equate to more noise out the exhaust. Also, a big cam does NOT "draw more vacuum". They cause the engine to draw LESS vacuum because of more valve overlap. Stick to dispensing advice about a subject you're actually knowledgeable about.

    • @Frantissimo
      @Frantissimo 2 роки тому

      @@davelowets it's actually more airflow at the wrong timing events hence why cars sound like they are struggling when idling with a cam. I've always considered performance cams as a hidden turbo because more airflow happens at the later rpm (when the cam reuses exhaust gases to if it's new fuel this is where they get their airflow from) I do see where you're coming about a bigger sound coming from more airflow but I don't see it unless it's a huge lift and such a long duration of a cam that you'd even have to raise your idle level to over the 1k mark to even keep it running but you don't see those in everyday driving cuz they require so much stuff around it that's not practical for everyday driving

They're ment for high rpm launches...and if your worried about gas mileage you may love to own a hot Vette but you'll never be able to afford one with that kind of thinking. Happy cruising!
