Default Which Of These Cams?
Please help me pick my new cam for my new shortblock. Mods in sig, which of these cams for me?

T-REX= 242/248 608/612 110

G5X3= ? / ? 600/610 112

Y1= 234/240 598/608 113

Car sees a lot of track time, so that is my primary concern. But Id hate it to be a toad down low!!

Y1 or the one I just got, TSP 235/240 602/598 112. It really isn't bad at all around town.

all close to the same drivability characteristics. Steep gears will help of course, and the proper tuning is a must.

I'd call MTI or someone else to grind a custom cam to match the heads. Tell them what you are looking for, where you want it to peak, to shift, etc.

Thanks guys, I'm leaning towards the Y1 just to be alittle different. Most my buddies are racing TRexes. Anymore opinions??
