www.thunderracing.com . It is a very good stock head cam that you do not need to worry about flycutting the pistons with. It idles very aggressively and hauls ***.

If you really care about mpg, that cam is not for you.

to tell you the truth mine is a daily driver and with a good tuner you will not really lose any MPG. Now if you are wanting ultimate power you may lose 3 or 4 miles per gallon. I like mine. I have only been to drive mine a couple times before I blew up my 9". Trex and MT radials Bad combo......I mean really good combo, do not stay with a 10 bolt with it that is for sure

Here are the pics of what my 9" looked like.






The one thing that I will suggest when you order a 9"

Nodular Iron Case
1350 yoke (dont skimp and go with 1330 you will regret it)

holy ****!


i'd say that there was somthing seriously wrong with that pinion support, because i REALLY cannot see it breaking like that before the stock driveshaft lol

maby it had stress cracks? maby you ran over somthing just right and it caused a fracture?

anway, what all kinda mods does your car already have? how much do you drive the car on the street? what kinda transmission does it have? what kinda rear end does it have? that is the most radical cam that will fit without any other modifications, you better do alot of research before you commit to this. SEARCH! there's about 10k threads talking all about the t-rex cam.

Not real sure about this statement being that my brand new nodular case is painted the same color. Also no it was not a 1350 yoke but I have one now. My car will finaly be running today. Yeah

Did it break at the track yes right On the starting line dropped it from about 5500 and the snap I think I moved a whole 2 inchs. Gear oil all over the track took tehm 45 mins to re prep.
