The only thing the "S" cam and the T-rex have in comon is that they are both cams. 2 completly diffrent cams. But if I were doing a cam only 6-speed, I'd throw in a T-rex.

I'd call Allan @ FMS to check out what he can do for ya. The TRex is a great choice as well....proven performer! Either way you can't really go wrong.

i know a street driven trex car down here in miami, there are also plenty of others on this forum. it is a streetable cam. so roll your eyes back into whatever website you get your "information" from.

and yet a 242/248 .60x/.610 112+2 is . i bet if you look at the whole profile the Trex is more aggressive and bigger then the G.A.C in parts.
