OKay I have a 08 700xx.. it has the power bomb header fmf pipe .. after market air filter and I have the fmf programmer but It got wet so gotta check with warranty.. I was wondering what would be the best bang for my buck.. I mean I don'twanna dump a grand right now .. so let's start with kinda cheap.. I'm new to the forums thanks everyone

A cam would be great with what you have and be the biggest bang for the buck

EHS may be able to help you with the programmer if FMF doesn't warranty

Welcome to the Club :tup: If your not looking to spend a lot of money a Hot Cam would be a good option.

I plan on a big bore this winter.. how hard to put in a cam?

you should do a lot of other things before you do a BB IMO. Its easy, the Hot Cams is just a drop in and like Smooth said you can call EHS and he can set up a progammer for your mods.

Where are you from?

A cam install is fairly easy, Nothing to complicated. If you or a buddy have done any motor work before you shouldn't have any trouble.
As 08700XX mentioned there are a few other upgrades that would help maximize your BB build. (Ported TB, Ported Head, Cam and a Fuel programmer) If you pay EHS to fix your dobek you could use it, If not you'll need a PowerCommander.

I would call Daniel at HDD 951-743-6328 (DL700 on here) he can get you a +3 TB he may even have one in stock. Heres a link

I would go with the Hot Cam 3 if you are trying to save money. If you are planning on going all out on your motor in the future you should buy parts now that will still work then so you may want to look at the Web Cams, they cost more and are not drop in cams but will give you a better gain when/if you do head work/BB in the future.

I would tell gains now with the tb? Or do I need to wait and do cam and that at same time?.. or wait til I can do the head also?..

You would see a little gain in power with the TB now. Most people don’t have the money to do it all at one time so getting one thing at a time works, but remember every time you add some thing to your build you will have to mess with the tune. Just make sure you are always working towards your final goal.

Nevermind, It's sold

i have the hot cam stage 3, full barker pipe, ehs programmer, uni filter. It's runs pretty good with this setup. Probably be better with a litle more compression. Not bad though for a $135 cam. Dyno sheets suggest around a 5hp gain. The hardest part of putting in the hot cam is you gotta press on the stock decomp. Also no core charges with the hot cam's.

If you are going start modding do it right the first time. Get you a PCV and Full exhaust (i prefer the Sparks & comes with PCV map) and Uni or K&N. That will make for a good base for any furture mods you might do. Just my .02$

I love my Sparks big bore...but whats a PCV :lol:

Did you read his first post?

Yes. But I doubt the dobeck would be covered under warranty. Other guys were suggesting purchasing another dobeck.
