Default Finally picked a Cam Package

Well I finally made up my mind on what cam I wanted and decided for the TR230 cam from Thunder Racing. I've been researching for ever and it seemed like it would meet my goals quite nicely. Im still deciding on if I should get the Ti-retainers or just use my stock ones? Car has 108K miles on it so what do you guys think? I 'll also be using 918's which should be just fine for my application. Just gotta get an oil pump and a timing set and gaskets and we should be ready to go!! I'll keep you guys posted on the progress!

sounds great!

If your going with 918's your gonna get the upgraded ones in there so thats fine. as for the retainers and locks. Ive spoken to Vengence, Pred and Patrick G. For the Beehive setups STOCK steel hardware is fine, for you MAYBE get new stock stuff, you could splurge but your not going to see a diff due to the mass being so small to begin with.

Had you gone with patriot duals, then it would matter.
