i have been looking at cam packages and am left undecided at which is best? i saw the lingenfelter head/cam package for $8600 and claims 630 hp (i assume at the crank) and offers a 3 year warranty. and i have also found MTI that offers a similar stage 2 for $7300 with a one year warranty. are there other choices and which is better for performance. and which company is better as far as service and reliability. i come from a world where the aftermarket is full of scum, so i have a bad taste about sending my car off to anyone....

thanks all.
Since you are in NJ, I would look at using either Cartek or ECS, they are both top-notch and will treat you right. Neither are site sponsors here anymore so I can't post links for you. Just google them. I know that they will be a way better value than either of the 2 you mentioned and they are local. That counts for ALOT in my way of thinking. Good luck!

If you want lots of power and don't mind a choppy idle, consider Quality motorsports in Dallas TX. Here's three graphs, showing stock, their bolt ons, and then with their cam.

I recommend the Quality Motorsports QM600 cam. Quality Motortsports will do you right, great customer service and support!
They do all my performance mods, wouldn't trust anyone else. I will be getting the QM600 Cam/Springs set up later this month. At present they have done AR Long Tubes w/hi-flow cats, Vette Air CAI, Halltech Killer Bee, ported T/B, Ported & polished intake, 160 tstat, & tune. Dynoed 442/419 stock, 490/462 after.
If you can't reach Carlos, Patrick will take care of you. I was at the shop the other day and was lucky to hear a QM600 install on it's first start. WOW! Now I have heard several QM600 cammed cars, and I can honestly say audio clips do not do them justice
They have really R&D'd this cam, and can tune it for optimum performance/driveability.

Jimbo is a wise man
Why have someone halfway across the country do the work when you have at least 2 good, reputable tuners close by?
Get in touch with some of the Northeast crew - they can relate their experiences. Undertaker, Don Benson, JBsZ06, PriestYates, Trynkeepup, .....just a few off the top of my head.
