Cam only swop L98

[LsBeema]

Hi,
I'm trying to get the max hp before I save up for the complete cam kit.
I have a 105 00 km L98 with long tube headers, dual 3 inch all the way, cold air pod 4 inch intake, and ready for a tune.
I was just wondering any thoughts on just doing a kelford cam only swop for now before the tune.
1. Would the other components be strong enough before the complete cam kit upgrade..?
2. Or I should just wait, get a tune for now, save up and in a year or so do the job right!!???

Appreciate the advise.

The 3" exhaust is too big. 2 1'2 would be better. Seeing as you already have it you might as well leave it on but you will lose power. There is a formula for exhaust size and you would want something a lot bigger than you have to warrant that size.

As for the tune just do it the once. If you do a tune now you will gain quite a bit of power over standard, something like around 50 rwkw. Retuning when you fit the cam and you haven't mentioned other than the brand what cam you will would be using. would mean paying twice. Don't go too big with the cam, dyno figures might look more impressive but it might be a pig of a thing to drive.

Do all bolt on mods & tune..should be content with jump in power if tune is good.

Down track if still want alot more out of it look at cam/heads which most people don't do due to costs

Forget cam and put coin towards a PD. Way better results.
