I've read nearly every thread on TB regarding cams over the last week and have finally decided that I'd like to have a VX cam for our occasionally driven '92 240 w/ M47. I can't take the lack of power over 3k RPM anymore.
I like to do things right.... not half-assed. I'm used to this costing me more, but this time, I'm not so sure it's worth it. Even with IPD's End of Summer sale, the cost of everything is going to come to nearly $400!
VX Cam Kit w/ adjustable gear, gaskets, and cam seals - $287.99
Valve Compressor Tool - $34.16
Go-No-Go Feeler - $10
Shim Kit - $40
Shipping is $20, for a grand total of $392.15.
What am I doing wrong? I'd like more power, but that's a lot of dough for some more power in something I drive maybe once a week. Then again, one of the main reasons I don't drive it more often is that it has no power. The only "engine mod" currently in place is my own version of the IPD Performance exhaust. The car has to pass strict Texas emissions and retaining good highway fuel economy is important, hence my choosing the VX Cam.
