I would put that $150.00 to a Cam Motion Cam that would fit your differential gears &
torque converter a lot better, you would be much happier in the end.

FWIW - I wouldn't run that cam as is. I would get it fixed for $150 or buy a new cam.

Ideally get a cam spec ' d for your set up.

Definitely not running it like it is. Gonna look into getting it fixed as getting a new one is gonna be tough. Trying to cut costs as much as possible since I've been laid off my 34 year job,but really wanted to do something finally to my car since I've had it since new and the only decent thing I've done to it was headers. If I have to get a new one, I guess I can try to squeeze it in but would like/love to use the money on the other stuff to get it done. At first I had plans to get this http://www.hawksmotorsports.com/hawk...free-shipping/ but after losing my job that's out of the question. Thanks for the suggestions though.
