im thinking of getting the jim wolf cams for my 96 maxima.. there like 1,000 bucks... money's not a problem but do you guys think it's worth it? also the ecu upgrade!

 

ecu more than a cams....

 

CAMS!!!!!!!!
If money isn't a problem.. get cams!!!
I'm a broke college student so i'm doing the 3.5 cams swap.. but go for cams man!
They sound INCREDIBLE, and when you add an ECU, IM, and maybe FI... you'll be ***** to the wall fast!
Cams alone wont give you much of a gain for how much they cost... its a common known fact that cams are no where near the best bang for your buck.. but they sound incredible, and when you add other substantial mods on top of that.. you'll be golden

 

how much is that running you?

 

Considering the gains, not worth the money at all. I could definately think of a better way to spend $1000.

 

yeah i kinda agree... do you guys think the 5th gen cams would make a difference or even fit?

 

no money, no jwt cams. call them up. 2 weeks ago i checked, they are willing to give up a set for 835 plus shipping. go make a deal with ben.

cumalot has the cams on them, he sold it off to someone in TX. (i think).
if you go FI after the cams, you may want to do more research on this. overlapping may cause a small leak to boosting. a theoretical remedy is to turn up the boost by one more psi. it's a vaque thing i know about, you should do more homework before you get them.

 

good luck installing them

 

cams should be the very last NA mod.
3.5 cams need to be drilled for a 3.0 sensor, or something like that

before you get flamed

 

If I recall correctly the JWT cams have just a tad more lift than the 3.5 cams. Heck, you could get an entire VQ35 for less than the price of the JWT cams

 

No doubt. I was just reading all the threads on the cam swap, and I have to say I would be far more inclined to swap in a 3.5. I mean hell, teh 3.5 has better cams, better heads, better IM, but most of all, MORE CUBES (liters for you geeks).

Can.t beat the cubes!

 

Like I said cams = rip off.

 

would it be worth it for cams if you have catback, full headers, and piston and rods???

 

If money is not an option do the 3.5 swap, and get a real lip for crying out loud! j/k it looks good at a distance

 

a real lip???its stillen u kid toucher...

 

Cam install will be like 1000 on top of the parts.

 

the one is the sig is home depot custom... but apparently its a pretty good custom if someone thinks its stillen lol

 

mine or agrecords????

 

Dude I would say 100% go with 3.5 swap (Block, Heads, IM). The gains will be so much more over the CAMS.

 

where can i find a 3.5 to swap into my 97? a full set, i want to give it to a family michanic to install. (compleat set).

 

You can buy a VQ35 that's ready to drop in from Tilleys99. Of find one in a salvage yard, send in your 3.0 cams to Tilley for the JWT spacers, swap over the timing equipment and fly.

 

i was refering to agrecords, sorry for the confusion. Your car looks pretty sweet ionblu

 

how much tilley charge for a 35?

 

Depends on what you want. Call his shop for quotes.

 

i think theres on in the 4sale forums for like 800

 

haha I was about to say ionblu is all real and his **** is pimpin it up in the atl.
