What cam should I choose?
I'm new to modding cars, but I wanted to do a little research before choosing a cam.
Please chime in and let me know what direction to head.
I am looking for an emission friendly cam that will go well with a future heads upgrade.
Here's my limitations:
Emission friendly
Compatable with stock bottom end (I assume 6500 redline correct me if I can go higher)
No poor idling qualities (slight lope O.K.)
Maybe a little n2o use at the track (100 shot or less)
Here's what I'm thinking so far:
Comp Cams
Xtreme RPM 224/228 w .534/.537 Lift 112 LSA
or
Xtreme RPM High Lift 222/224 w .566/.568 Lift 112 LSA
or
Xtreme XE-R 224/230 w .581/.588 Lift 114 LSA
Later Mod
AFR 205 CC Mongoose heads

i think a t1 would meet all your requirements, as well as make great power. i really like mine. they are easily found used, and will be cheaper than the others you listed. just my two cents.
