Default which cam?

I would like to get a nice smooth idling cam for my T/A but have no fu@king idea whatsoever where to start at. Which would be the best one for me? i have stock heads, crank, and intake, etc. So lost!!

well i have just the borla exhaust and an MTI lid with filter. thats all besides the 373s that i have in the rear end. the car is other than that stock. I want a good cam that roars when you go full throttle but not so rough that you lose the exhaust tone completely. i dont want a full on racey sound. i want a good mild cam lope with the ability to open up and whoop some import ***. hope this helps i am still very lost but hopefully you or someone else can help me out <img border="0" alt="[shoot]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

i'm guessing u have an automatic? if so, i'd get a nice 3000 or so convertor with around a 2.0 str... and then get a tr220 cam... 220/220-.553/.553-114lsa... headers would be great also... if no headers, try the comp 218/224-.527/.534 cam...

I have the TR 220 and it sound just like it is what you are looking for. It has a nice mild lope, no bad driveability issues and a nice 30hp bump.

i agree with someday.if it's an auto get a stall first,then headers,ect,ect.an auto with stall and all the boltons can go 11's easy.i would do a cam last,besids a cam(someday's posted some nice ones)will not work as good without headers.i did a cam first and was not to happy with it but when i added headers it woke up the combo. goodluck to ya man.
