Default trak cam

I have this cam and i am very happy good trq and hp. i daily drive this and it is fine and i have a cut out always open so you should be good. i drove from florida to missouri and spent 75$ in gas each way for a cam that big no complaints. with a good set of heads and 90 90 set up these can make over 450 rwhp with a good tune.

Thats some serious power but I wouldn't DD that cam. My buddy has the MS3 and still not sure if I'd go that far. Its really a personal preferance and one certain cam that is too big to DD for someone could be an good DD for someone else.

Default Trak Cam

I Know People That Dd The T-rex Cam And They Are Fine. You Will Be Fine Just Take Care Of Your Car. I Agree Everyone Is Diffrent When It Comes To Dd A Big Cam. The Duration Really Isnt That Big Its The Int Lift Just Use Good Springs And Shim Them And You Will Be Goo. I Have Had This Cam For A While And Had No Problems. If You Have A 6 Speed You Cant Feel The Diffrence In 6 Gear Its Smooth. Its Up To You But I Have Nothing But Good Things To Say About This Cam.

I daily drove that cam for almost a year. With a tune it's very nice. Makes outstanding power too.
