Cams or Fuel pump?
#16
I don't understand this thread at all... you know how much its gonna cost you to get those cams installed... $300 at most shops. Your gonna need a tune afterwards also, on top of that, you never want to do cams on a stock 8 fuel pump.
Just get the fuel pump for now. Do the cams later.

And thats another thing I didn't know how long i could run without having them tuned. I obviously would not want to run at all without the tune by Im in KS and BR is in Ohio lol.
Also if it was doable to do cams without changing out the fuel pump. Just under lying questions I was gonna read between the lines for.
Think I'm just gonna get the Pump and go with some 280's down the road when I get my re-enlistment bonus and do my stroker kit. Just wanted more power then stock to hold me over till then.

Like others have said, even if it means waiting awhile, get them both at once, and get tuned for both at once.
Tell the wife about your plan and how it'll save you the money and hassle of getting tuned twice that you are willing to wait and save for it. She will probably appreciate your foresight and common sense.
There you go, all three issues addressed at once.
Besides, you will see gains from the GSC 264's, but personally I'd rather get S1s or the Forced Performance cams anyway. No sense in bending over backwards for a great deal: it's like the irony of when people just can't pass up that item that's on sale for the deal of a lifetime and use their high APR credit cars to pay for it, and it end up costing at least as much as if they had just saved up for it at MSRP.

I agree pump is a must! Personally I would wait and get both then a tune...as a matter of fact thats what Im doing in 2 weeks...GSC S1's walbro and a tune at AMS...im doing the cams and obviously the pump myself before I head to chicago from MN...Does anyone think I would have a horrible time driving it 5 hours or should I do what my common sence is telling me haha and trailor it...I guess i just dont know how it will react without the tune and all the bolt ons I have to drive that far...thanks

A smart guy would look into a used IX pump at 40.00 bucks..tell the wife your saving money and buy the cams..problem solved, money and life saved for the level of perf you are shooting for.

Get em together..you'll need a tune with either upgrade..so it's pointless to do it twice. Plus doing multiple upgrades at the same time is nice cuz you will feel a bigger difference in performance....instead adding one thing at a time, and retuning a bagillion times.

what kind of question is that?
you might be better off asking french fries without frying.
like stated above, fuel pump is cheap insurance and its only 100 bucks, get both and get tuned right
