Default the great cam question

Planning ahead i know after christmas i will get a little spiff from the company as well as my parents as always. I will be running my rearend by then and need to plan for the 100 wet shot i will be putting on it. So if i get head p/p and new valve train what would be the best cam for a daily driven nitrous car??? I literally drive it evryday to and from school and work. so it can;t be to wild, i live in mountain country and i don't want to get some where where i can't go cause of my mods. Sorry so long but it is important to get the best one.

my daily driver has a 224/581/112 but you might not want something so radical. check out MTI and look at their B1 or T1 may be even the C1 if you want a little more Lope! but nothing lower that a 114 LSA if you want a smooth idle. as far as lift anything over .550(I THINK) and you will need to upgrade the valvetrain. other than that it is up to your personal prefence: HP, TQ, Good street manners, and sound. Just my .02

Check my Sig out. MTI put everything together. I agree, you will have to upgrade your springs and all to get a high lift cam. I love my X1, sweet. And she runs good with alittle spray <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
