Alright, please excuse my ignorance. I've been in the import scene, well still am, and I'm working on a 408 stroker for my 2002 Lexus IS300. I've been doing some homework and will be using an LQ9 Block.
I'm looking at using Wiseco 4.030 Pistons (http://www.summitracing.com/search/Product-Line/Wiseco-Professional-Series-Piston-Kits/Price-Range/750-1000/?Ns=Rank|Asc)
K1 Technology Rods
Eagle 4.00" crank.
Now, the cam I was recommended was THIS ONE (http://www.summitracing.com/search/Product-Line/Wiseco-Professional-Series-Piston-Kits/Price-Range/750-1000/?Ns=Rank|Asc) which seems to be pretty aggressive. Does it seem a little aggressive to you guys? I am looking for a semi-aggressive cam. Meaning I want to get some power and do like it being a little lopey, but I want to be able to drive the car with ease on a daily basis.
Last question, am I doing this backwards? Should I choose my heads then base my cam off of that? I should note that I am looking for a setup I can spin at a higher RPM. I'm not looking to be in honda territory at 10-11k lol.
Thanks guys, I searched around but for questions like this its kind of hard to get a direct answer with searches.
