Cam Kits

Basic Complete Kit$2835
  • Stock head gaskets
  • Johnson lifters
  • TSP spring kit

Great for our Grudge (quiet) cam. This is also the kit to choose if you have completely stock OEM heads and do not wish to upgrade the seats, valves, or guides.

Deluxe F/I Complete Kit$3110
  • LT4 head gaskets
  • Johnson lifters
  • Comp springs

For boosted combos and LT4 setups.

Everything in the deluxe cam kit is recommended to prevent valve float and spin the motor higher. We always recommend the deluxe kit, but it's not always in the customer's budget, so we offer the basic kit as an option. Fly-cutting is available for in-house builds: $200.

Pray Performance BAM Heads porting costs plus an additional$1,800 

Ported heads designed specifically for the 440 (4.185” bore). These require seats, guides and titanium intake valves, so the “Better” or “Best” upgrade below must also be purchased.

We highly recommend replacing the valves, valve seats and guides. Chipped seats and dropped intake/exhaust valves are becoming more common.
