Default cam

for my current mods. what would be a good cam choice. if i want gains through a wide rpm range. ie not just all downlow grunt. and i dont want to loose to much of the normal street manners. just looking to get a cam that will give me that little bit more umphh without loosing the topend power. and yes money is an issue. im not sure what the price ranges are but 500 bucks is about all i have to go with right now.

500 *should* get you a cam (I've never bought one, and I would hate to give you bad info), and if you install it yourself, you should be fine.

I've heard a lot of good things about a 224/224 @ .50 on a fairly wide LSA. Streetable with a good power band. there are guys here that can and will definately give you better info.

Don't take this the wrong way bro but this isn't the correct section. Also the topic has been well, beat to death. Just get my cam, it will work well with your auto IF you get a stall. Figure on spending more than 500 cause you need springs and all that good stuff too.

PM me if you want

For anyone that thinks I'm being rude I know the guy
