I was thinking of something like a 230/230 .585/.585 112lsa cam...it will be w/S2 heads...
Would that be a good choice??
And what are my other options, I want a strong all motor cam....

hey bos, what about the nitrous kit. u goin all motor?
IF you are staying all motor then i would say to get some sort of split duration cam. Whose heads are you goin with? What about the stage 3's and a wacky cam like we always talked about. The rest of the drivetrain will handle it.

If I had the $ I would...
But for now its going to just be a solid heads/cam car... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

It's a 230/227 .591/.571, 112.
I run it in a daily driver with no problems at all and picked up 30 rwhp over my old T1. (221/221 .58/.558 112).
I'd highly recommend it.

Just do a 422ci RGR motor and get it out of the way. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
How often do you go to the track?You have this thing set up like a
race car.(A3 w/manual valve body,12 bolt,ect...)Now a big cam.
Just curious what your goals are.
Good luck.

TTT on this people... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I need to make a choice soon...
This car will be driven a lot on the street.....
S2 heads w/2.02/1.57 valves.............
I want a cam that will lope hard and make excellent power....
I made 353rwhp and 375rwtq w/my current 222/222 .563/.563 112lsa cam w/stock heads that was through a TH400 w/a non locking 4500 "5000" stall converter....
I defiently want to go with a custom grind from comp cams, X-ER lobe...
The one I'm liking right now is the 230/230 .585/.585 112lsa....(will there be any P to V clearance issues w/this cam??)
Any other suggestions are welcome...I want it to be a strong all motor car and only want to spin it to like 6800...I want to keep the bottom end around for a while... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
The MTI "X1" sounds like a good cam too, I would like to hear from a few other people about it though...

Brian, you need to change your sig to "I WISH I COULD GET TRACK TIMES W/ NEW SETUP SOON" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Man every time you put something on it it breaks.

No **** man its horrible, last year I put 10,000 miles on my car in like 7 months, and I've only put on 4,000 since it came out of winter storage... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
I can't wait to get my car back and take it to the track in the fall weather... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
TTT on this....
Do you need to cut valve reliefs in the piston to run the "X1" cam...
Also, how much is the X1?

I don't have any sound clips, but if you want to call me on my cell phone, I'll crank it up and you can listen to it.
PM me for the # if you'd like.
