Auto or 6-Speed? If auto I would go a bit lower on the cam. Also if you want a choppier cam a good way to do this is by getting the cam cut on a lower lsa.

6 Speed.

Called them about 7 times on my order, every other time the tell me something different. Last time I called was Tues or wednesday, they said cam would be in friday and it would be shipped that day. Well guess what, it wasnt. And before that it was supposed to be shipped jan 2nd. Guess what, it wasnt.

And yes i know big cam blah blah blah, Im not staying that stock forever. Dont want to pull the cam when I get the other stuff as well.

i would think everyone is busy restocking and what not for the new year,like i said i have never heard anyone getting screwed by them, listen you can say blah ,blah all you want fact is a big cam is not a budget way of going fast, but if ya know what your getting into by all means go for it,there is a very small % of people that go with a big cam that will use it how it should be used, it takes a very well thought out set up to have a big cam car be fast,fly cutting with killer heads,fastsetup,great flowing exhaust,gears, blah,blah,blah,honest if your after the sound you can get a custom grind in a much smaller profile that sounds just as mean,what are you using the car for?

Mostly weekend warrior type stuff. And they have had over a month to restock stuff. I think thats plenty of time. Not saying they are screwing me. Just very unhappy with the service. Seems like theyve been doing it to quite a few others too.

Another vote for PatG and/or EPS. The EPS 234/246 is on par with the big cam you desire.

Click the EPS logo to the right, when the website comes up get the phone number and call.

You have to PM Pat G to get him to custom spec you a cam. Last I heard he charges $25, way worth it to get exactly what you want.
