Re: best cam for street racing ?? I will put my vote in for the C2. It idles pretty dog gone smooth, makes phenominal power and puts down E.T.'s, that even with me being in the car, I still find astounding.
For such a seemingly "Clark Kent" cam.... when the chips are down, it can sure pull a helluva "Superman".
With this cam you dont need huge rear gears, or any other mega-cam band aid.
A good converter, a killer exhaust and a free flowing intake and your there....pure hell on the streets.
I fricken love this combo.

Re: best cam for street racing ?? Ali,
what size of valves you going with?? 2.055 1.6?
I guess the c2 is a good cam for the above valves size....... and who's doing the head job??

Re: best cam for street racing ?? Remember you only have 3.73 gears. Unless you plan on upgrading them to 4.10's or higher, go semi-conservative on the cam.
Good luck
