the phantom Member 26 Member For: 16y 10m 22d Posted 06/06/08 11:23 AM Share Posted 06/06/08 11:23 AM I am just wondering what it costs roughly to get a good work shop to put a tuff cam and valve springs into an XR6T, I am doing exaust, CAI, custom cooler and a tune so I thought I may as well get the cam and springs done at the same time but im not confident fitting them myself. where in melbourne dose them and roughly whats the cost to suplie and fit.

Sure they'll give you an increase but money better spent elsewhere Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46412-cam-and-valve-springs-what-does-it-cost/#findComment-689453 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin.K Member 288 Member For: 19y 10m 12d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 07/06/08 06:42 AM Share Posted 07/06/08 06:42 AM I think doing cams is about how you wish to make power. They should be used if you feel that you are going to shoot at the pointy end of 300-400 rwkw to get the use of changing them. You will need to change your valve springs if you do go up in boost as you will experience valve float as your boost increases.GK Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46412-cam-and-valve-springs-what-does-it-cost/#findComment-689572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
