Is the car a daily driver?

How extreme do you want to go? the more extreme the more drivability problems.

No you don't need a T-rex lol.

You'll probably need dual spring and 7.4 hardened pushrods depending on the size of cam.
May I suggest and F14, MS3, or Torquer cam..

Yeah you definitely need to decide if this will be your weekend warrior or a nice street cam.. I had the X-1 cam from MTI and it worked really well for me. I beat alot of cars with bigger cams and more power.

Have Patrick G spec you a custom cam. I told him my goals and what I wanted out of the car and he came back with a very nice cam. I wanted something that not everyone has as well. I can't wait to get mine installed.
