Got a few questions about the t-rex cam!
I just bought the t-rex cam itself used from someone on this board. I know i need springs and all that other good stuff. I was just gonna get what comes with thunder racing's cam package individually. Any other recommendtions? Anyone selling anything i need?
ps. Any advice/suggestions/warnings i should know before and after i put in the cam? I know i need a tune, just gotta save up money for that. Also with my mods listed below, what kind of gains can i expect? Oh and one last thing, will my redline get move up after puttin in the cam? I heard that my car will redline at like 7k now.

You could be really really cheap and just get a set of springs and call it a day, but that would be dumb. Here is what I would get if I was in your position
Springs
Retainers
Heavy Duty Timing Chain
Ported ZO6 oil Pump
and save some money for a good tune, I think a mail order tune from a reputable shop would be sufficient if you arent close to one. If I had to take a lowball guess as to what kinda horsepower, Id say 415rwhp......
