Best Cam for PI Headswap

[me97gt]

I'm looking at getting a set of cams this winter, and just wondering what to get. My car is a DD. My current mods are PI H/C/I, C@L upper intake w/75mm t/b, pullies, shorty headers, x-pipe w/cats, SLP LM 2, 3.73's, aluminum d/s and flywheel, and SCT Xcal 2 tune. I want the max hp I can get without swapping in new valve springs. I was looking at Hitech stg 2's, but it looks like they aren't going to fit without grinding down the valves? So what cams are PI swap people using?

im using Comp Cams XE262ah
swapping valve springs is a good idea even though it may not be necessary
good luck

You can run the Comp262ah or Cushman st1's with the stock springs but i'd change em with any cams.

Comp XE262AH stage one cams.
Don't forget to install new valve springs.

I guess I've been on the fence with changing the valve springs. Thanks guys..

Anybody have experience/knowledge with Modular Headshop cams? I've been reading their website, and looks like some good info their.

i did the head swap with the hitech stage 2's. i got new valve springs tho. if you have the money change them no point in shortcutting it. if not ive been told u dont need to change the springs unless yur turning over 6500 rpms which you probably wont be. i made 298 rwhp 315 tq with stock exhaust manifolds stock air intake with a pp upper plenum and 75mm tb. with mac catback exhaust with bassani catted x pipe. it is also my dd and i have no problems on the street with it. good luck in whichever route you choose its an awesome investment

i forgot to mention yes the intake valves have to be machined i sent mine to hitech and they did it for 80 bucks

do you have any pictures of the valves after you got them back? i just ordered a set of those exact cams and the cams will be here before the week is up and i just found out about having to have the valves cut.

how much exactly did they cut off? and did they taper the edge of the valve like the Manley valves?
