Stage one cam

Hey everyone, I was reading through the stage one cam build and had a couple questions. First I couldn't find a build thread for it, if someone could direct me to one that would be great and also, what other parts would be recommended to replace when doing this job? I know it's a stand alone mod, but like valve seals, timing belt, head gacket, that kinda stuff. Thanks!!!!

This stuff would be good to do while you are installing the cam since they require similar dismantle of the engine.

Head gasket would be good to replace if you were going the route of buying another head and installing the cam into that first, then just swapping the heads. Benefit to this is that there will be less car down time, if that is important and you could also get a valve job done to the other head (more power!!!). You could remove your head, take it to a machine shop and have it done but you are looking at more down time.

Re: Stage one cam

With 168k on the engine, do you think it could handle the extra hp?
