TREX cam...is it streetable???
TREX cam...is it streetable??? just as the title says...is the trex cam streetable with the right gears and stall? my car gets driven one to two times a week not in traffc. Is it too big for the weekly cruise around town??
im not playing "i want it to drive like stock" card. but i dont want it dying at stoplights and **** all the time. bucking and things of this nature dont bother me though.

my friend had this cam in his m6 car with stock gears. it drove fine but did buck in the lower rpms. if you do gears and a good size stall it should be fine. like they said just find a good tuner and it will be good

yeah i think you should talk to a shop first or definitely clay to check PTV clearance bc you may need to flycut your pistons. This cam is gonna be great up high but down low it will suffer. Are you sure you want that on a street car? You'll definitely want a big stall like 4000+ & 3.73s

I think you'll have to flycut.. the clearance is very minimal on stock valves.
Also, I think the 918's will float at close to 7000 rpm.. which you have to spin the T-Rex to in order to make the best power.
