diveability be damned-cam help ok so i drive my car few times a month so driveablity be damned! im looking to get the biggest nastiest cam that will fit into my car w/o ahveing to flycut my pistons. i do plan on a little N02 shortly after the cam install so that will play a factor aswell. i also love the low chop at idle.
ive been readin up as much as possible on cams but still cant seem to make heads or tails of it.. i dont have enough time to simply devote to studying all the options with good/bad returns...
thanks in advance

we need more info. Theres alot more to it than picking out a huge cam. what are your plans? do you want all top end power? Are you doing heads? because you prolly have to if youre going with a monster cam otherwise you just wont be able to breathe. You might wanna look at cams like tsp 233/239, ms3, ms4, f15, or trex. Those are some of the bigger ones out there. Flycutting will depend on what heads you go with

cam only and drive it around town Trex is your best bet. there is bigge but that will mean canges to your car. now if you are not going to take it to the track then there are other cams that are better suited than just the biggest stick you can shove in.

Every one said that with the T-Rex, MS3, etc. all those large cams that driveability would suck. To tell you the truth i noticed a difference the first day i drove the car, but after that you don't even notice. But then again i might have a high tolerance for those kinds of things. Like some people say my exhaust is to loud (SLP Lts w 12" pipe extensions dumped). But then again i love how sick the car sounds with the MS3. So basically everyones driveability is going to be different, but its what you yourself can handle. So don't just pick a huge cam because it makes alot of power. Set yourself on one set-up drag racing, roll racing, etc. then go from there. I chose the MS3 and within the next month will hopefully be installing me TNT F2 nitrous kit.
