T-Rex cam

Does anyone know whether the T-Rex is a mechanical or a hydraulic? I am looking at specing a similar comp cam and was contemplating whether I should leave the stock lifters or step up to a solid roller and rev kit and 921 spring.

Dosen't Rodney use the T-Rex?

Aso what is a good injector and fuel pump for N/A High HP cars?

I am thinking of putting off the turbo install for a while and build a cam only and see how fast I can go. Maybe test some ideas and really get the chassis worked out.

Thanks

Hydraulic roller.. designed for stock lifters I believe.
Walboro 255 seems to be the fuel pump of choice.

unless you are running a 346/347 go with a custom cam, also are you running milled heads or stock? be sure to check your P to V clearance.

Yeah thats what I'm going to do (run a custom cam)...the motor will be cam only 346 but I'm sure that a custom designed specifically for my app will work best. That why I'm going with a comp cam. I know that the stock shortblock will take at least 612" with around 242 intake @.050 and 244 ex @.050.

Any suggestions from you guys with cam only cars?

Also I was thinking of using the single plane/90mm from spectrum5racing. Anyone else using the single plane?

The good thing is that comp dosen't charge extra for custom cams that aren't too far from the norm. I have the master library from comp and the only cams that they make for the ls1 are not what I want. Besides everytime I have called them about a cam they always reccomend a custom...

The main reason that I like comp is because of their super extensive cam development programs with their engineers working the spintron. Another factor is the cost. They are a bit cheaper...
