Hey Guys, it's been a rather long time since I've posted up here (prolly over a year), lots of life-changes and all but still have my celica. Recent full engine rebuild with ported/polished head and matching header with hi-flow exhaust set up.
I definitely lost some low end power but gained high end for sure. I don't really care about the loss though in low end. Anyway to get my question out: I sent a set of stock cams to Geoff up at Colt Cams and am looking to get a mild performance gain. I want something that I don't need any other supporting mods for (no FM or EM or tuning required). What's a good set up?? Anyone else already do this with Colt Cams? PS - Please don't say I should of went to webcam cause Colt Cams already has mine. Thanks Guys! |

talk to geoff about what you want to acomplish with your power band, and he will cut the cams to suit what you want.

I did that today, thanks! He said the cam work he'd go for would put out between 10-15 hp. I already built up my top end with a PP and full exhaust (front to back). Do you think an SAFC would do me any good and maybe a tune at the dyno?? Maybe it'd squeeze out a couple more horses?

How much is the cam work going to run you? |

It's $435 total which includes shipping back to me. I had to spend $40 though shipping them to him so the grand total is $470 - He does offer better performance cams than what I am getting but I don't want to do the added mods.
