Default Re: What kind of cam do I need

This would be a terrific question for one of our sponsers. There are a lot of things that are going to be tied in with the type of cam that you are looking for.

1. How drivable do you want this to be? Are you willing to sacrifce around town drive-ability for top-end power? (I wouldn't, it gets to be a hassle)
2. Do you want a cam that works with the stock computer programming?
3. Are you planning on modding your car further in the future?

These are the kind of questions that you are going to get fired back at you, and will determine what type of cam you are looking for. I personally prefer Thunder Racing. For me, they have always been the easiest to get a hold of, and don't mind answering an onslaught of questions.

If you are curious as to the workings of a cam, or perhaps how all the numbers jive this link gives a shotgun explanation

It all depends on what you want out of the car and how far you want to go?
