Default What cam for my car and when?

See sig for current setup. I intend on having a 12 bolt with 4.10's, TNT wet kit (125 shot), cam, of course a better clutch. The cams I was considering about going with are the TR224 on 112 CL or the MTI X1 cam.
Also can I put one these cams in without the rear end or clutch?
Oh yeah- I plan on having the programming done as well.

What about a reverse split? Like 228/226 .580/565 112?

yes you can put a cam in without rear and clutch. my question is, how bad do you want to walk? i broke my clutch on my 2001 ws.6 with STOCK hp. i also broke my rear with only boltons and nittos. cams and hp is great but not when things go south,believe me. if you tear in the block,put in a new timing chain. good luck

So you're telling me go with the 12 bolt and 4.10's then the clutch- and then the cam? How much will the 4.10's improve my ride? I'm running 12.80's now.

I have heard 4:10's can give you 2 tenths and possibly 3 if you have enough tire.
