Default cant decide on cam! help please!

just got back from over seas and plan on getting the old(99) ta running again. it has been off the road for a few years now, but plan on getting it into shape again. i want a real big cam but cant decide. trex or f14. ive got a volant air box, hooker lt, hooker ory, borla adj., and 4.56's being put in this weekend. car is only going to be my sunday cruiser. basically what im looking for is a nasty sounding idle. i do plan on changing the oil pump, lifters, pushrods, springs, etc. just looking for the sickest cam on the market.


thanks for the help.

Daniel

F14 is pretty small compared to the trex and with your gears you'll want somthing pretty big. I would look into the MS3, G5x4, and the Trex for starters.

Get a solid roller setup if you want a sick cam. If you want a nasty idle....drop yours down to 600.

I'd go with the F-15 (RJ-15) if you're looking for something big. The T-rex is plenty big, but it leaves alot of low-end on the table when running stock cubes.
