Stall is a good supporting mod for just about anything you'd want to do, just affects drive-ability quite a bit. Good luck and happy modding!

Do a stall, you'll need a stall anyway if you want to put a cam in it.

Are you just trying to up your post count?

Stall hurts power, cam gains power. In most cases a stall will give more of an et reduction than a cam.

Oh BTW i would go stall, before cam just because you said money is low. you will need the supporting valve train depending on cam size. stall is a safe fast way to lower et.s in my book! i know i need a bigger one! Oh i didnt mean to post twice here i just thought if i wrote on the guys tread i better give my opinion instead of just laughing at a winner!

cam will do you no good until you get a stall anyway, so get the stall first and you will be much happier

Unless you currently have valve float issues keep'em fresh for the cam IMO...

You are a complete moron. So let me get this straight, a cam is only good for sound, and a stall will give you more power??

I agree completely with everything this guy says other than it affecting the drive-ability of the car. I got my cam before my stall and that was a huge mistake. My car is much easier to drive stalled. I will never own another automatic "hot rod" unless it has a stall. Thats how happy I am with mine.

how does a stall hurt your power? Stall first, have a tuner ready, cam, then tune right away
