Re: Cam Suggestions

manteca eh? you went to manteca high school too. I seen your car around. Sounded pretty good. Thier all going to tell you to put an LT1 cam in it, so just do that. You should really post this in the TPI section on the site though. You'll get more input from the TPI guys there.

Re: Cam Suggestions

Without machining the heads you're limited to a max lift somewhere in the range of .460-.490. I think when I measured my stock ones they'd stop at about .475 lift.
