Looking for info on 98 Vortec 350 specs and mods!

Replacing the camshaft can really boost the torque! Just make sure to pair it with proper tuning and intake/exhaust upgrades for best results.

That’s exciting! But, does that affect reliability?

It can, if not done right. Stick to quality parts, and you’ll maintain reliability. Just don’t overdo it, or you might face some issues.

I’ve installed a performance exhaust, and while it sounds awesome, I’ve had to replace a few gaskets sooner than expected. Anyone else felt that pain?

Yes, definitely! It’s all about how you balance power and maintenance. I’ve learned the hard way too. Regular inspection is key, folks!

Absolutely! Also, a little humor – I’ve named my engine ‘Vortechster’ because of all the fuss I’ve had with it!

Ha! That’s a good one! Hope Vortechster keeps running strong. How about doing a compression test now and then? Any thoughts?

Definitely a good practice, lucasthomas. It helps catch issues before they become major problems. A little preventative effort goes a long way.

I’ve never regretted doing basic maintenance myself! Saved me quite a bit - and I get to know my ride better. What other maintenance tips do you all have?
