I wasn't planning on installing aftermarket cams on my 3s rebuild but now with Ben and Alex continuously bugging me about getting them I want to know who has done it and what else needs to be done besides just installing them. So besides spending around $600 ( I'm I'm correct) for the cams How much work would it be to tune and what else needs to be bought along with the cams.. Sorry I couldn't go into further detail about it but I'm at work right now and have been thinkin about them all day lol. Thanks for the help gang, ordering all my rebuild parts within a couple weeks so need to figure out if I'm gonna go with cams or not.

depends on the cams, but you will most likely have to re-shim the valve clearances, i also suggest getting adjustable cam gears to support them. you dont have to but to get their full potential, you need them

k thanks, smaay. Preciate the help. Just didn't want to have to pay an extra grand to have the thing tuned. Im gonna look into them some more. Do you recommend any brands?

hit up atsracing.net. the only cams i know of for the 3S-GTE are HKS, but i think Crower might make cams.

I've BC 264 cams paid $580 for the set. I've made 412whp on my setup with the both cams set a 0 degree. Haven't got chance to make any further adjustment yet. Dyno tune isn't cheap. Next year when I retune for 500whp, I'll post my result.

thanks guys...Hey Azn, can you let me know what all you've done to ur whip? besides cams. 412 would be real nice lol

Just an fyi for further discussion. Myself and Alex recommend gss 268's.

And ats adjustable cam geara.

i have the ATS gears in my All-Trac, they are nice

depending on the lift, and how high you plan on revving them out, I would strongly suggest better valve springs as well, otherwise you'll just float them and lose power. Budget about $1200 for cams/springs/labor/tune. Horsepower is expensive, but fixing broken parts when not properly put together can be even more expensive.

1000$ for BC stage 3 kit 272 cams etc
