Default Help Choose My New Cam!

I ordered a forged 347 from Chris at APE, and need to decide what cam to get this time. I ran the C1 cam for three years and loved it. Now which cam would be a nice upgrade withiut killing the bottom end. Been thinking about the T-Rex or the GXseries from LG motorsports. Futral? Id appreciate your opinions! The car will see a lot of track time. Current mods in sig.

I'd first ditch the macs with your new setup, then i would prolly try the g5x-3 cam. Again it all depends on what you want to do with the car? Stay N/A, or nitrous, or blower...

It will be N/A. My main concern is losing the bottom end. I have a buddy very happy with his G5X3. Also friends happy with their T Rexes. How about Futrals F13?

you've got a forged 347 and your worried about the bottom end i've got a forged 347 w/ L19 bolts and i cant wait for my first 7K shift. with the valve reliefs, i assume you got them, you can run the bigger cams fine.

my cam is an FTI 240/238 112+0
