freind of mine called me up, he said"dude i can put a cam in" and i sed "dont u need heads too" he really doesnt know but is most likely sure that"no u can run it with the stock head"

guys is this possible? can i run a small cam with the stock heads or is it more complicated then that? and if this setup is possible wut cam should i get, and what gain will i see?

thanks, much appreciated

That's pretty much it minus all the little details. You'll probably get slowed down here and there when taking the car apart but overall its pretty straightforward.

Thunder racing TR224 or any of the other sponsor's 224 cam. Perfect for stock heads.

Read the stickies at the top of the internal section. It will explain all of the numbers and everything. There is alot more to picking a cam than you think.

If you have emissions requirements stick to the 114 LSA - it will be easier to get to pass. The 112 LSA will make a little more power and the idle will have more "lope" to it.

To get the benefit of the cam you should really start with long tube headers.

What casey02ws6 said. And like eric01ss make sure you get the pushrods right, and CHANGE THE VALVE SPRINGS. A set of 918's will do the trick. With a small cam you can re-use the stock retainers with those springs.
