You have to help us help you. We need more information. LOTS more information. REad the stickies and teh cam guide. What transmission do you have? What gears? How much do you run at the track? What is most important to you?

Alot of it depends on what you have, if you have a m6, do you have an upgraded clutch, if auto, what stall and so on.
You cant just put a cam in and expect amazing performanc without the whole package sorted out. A4 guys have to run a bigger stall with a bigger cam.
M6 guys need a better clutch, and all of the above need a rearend at some point if you plan on using sticky tires at the track.
Myself I have a Futral F14 and love it. I'm know the stock 3.42s on the m6 arent optimal, but im waiting till i get a 12bolt/9".
Do some searching, read JRPs cam guide, and you will figure it out.

Look at my car. My cam is too big for the converter and gearing combo. I plan to move to 3.73's, but keeping the 3500 stall is going to limit it's effectiveness at the track. I probably would have been better off with something else from my list, like the TSP torquer. Oh well.
