Help Me Choose A Cam Grot headers/cats are on the way and I will add a cam to this engine (1999):
SLP ram air hood & cold air, lid/K&N, 160 Tstat, B&B exhaust with ZED cutout for track, descreened MAF, and A/C removed. Will keep the stock heads. M6 tranny and 4.10 gears.
I don't drag race the car, but it sees a lot of time on roadcourse. Don't run the engine over about 5800 rpm. Street driving is mostly on open road. Not daily driver, just a toy.
I want the engine to pull better up to about 5800 rpm especially in 4th and 5th gears. Some lope is fine at idle as long as it doesn't shake the car too badly. Car should be able to pass emissions, but not mandatory. I'd rather not reprogram the computer, and I have HPPIII (power tuning not being used), and an LGMotorsports MAF (not currently installed). Would buy a MAFT if necessary. Considering going to 3.73 gears.
Looks like the choice is between:
Hammer Cam 222/222 .566/.566 112
Lunati T1 221/221 .558/.558 112
Lunati B1 221/221 .558/.558 114
I've read good things about all these cams, but can't choose the one to best fit my requirements. Any help is appreciated.
