Re: Did I pick the right cam. Heads were done local. The car dynoed before the heads and cam. 330 328 tq. Right after I put in the comp cam and ported heads. 399 hp 389 tq on the motor 499 540 on the 100 shot. So I think the head porter did pretty good.

Re: Did I pick the right cam. I would have stuck with the cam you had prevously. I am not sure how much you'll gain on motor with this cam (4-5RWHP tops) Might not be worth the cost. On spray it will be a wash I think

Re: Did I pick the right cam. I like how your current cam is working, I'm not sure if you will pick up that much since you are already running what I consider to be one of the best big cams out there.

Re: Did I pick the right cam. I would think that the single pattern 228/228 cam from Comp would pick you up some performance N/A, and shouldn't noticeably hurt your N2O runs, in fact, it may even improve your N2O runs. I've always thought it was better to set your car up to run N/A then spray on top of that. Unless you're spraying some ungodly shot of the laughing gas, then you may benefit a little more by going with the split duration.
