Default cam help

Hey guys im just wondering if I could get pointed in the right direction. I am wondering what cam would be good for my application. I am planning on keeping my Formula a daily driver. My future mods will include a 3500 stall, headers and cam and heads. Just wondering if you can suggest a nice cam for a daily driver but i want to end up with about 450-500 horsepower any ideas? Also what does it usually cost to install a cam?

To get that power level on a stock cube motor look at going with a large cam + good set of heads + fast 90/90 + really good tuning.

Install it yourself and save a bunch of money.

Daily driver wise, look at something in the 224-230 duration range.

To get your power goals I'd suggest T-Rex or similar plus a good set of heads but drivability will definately be sacrificed.

ANY AFTERMARKET CAM SHOULD BE TUNED!

Search and read the cam guide sticky.

Get the car tuned no matter what you go with.
