i have 5k in my pocket which cam will do the job??????? i was looking at a lt4 hot cam kit. from what i hear they will only put me around 330-340. i want to be 350. any idea what kind of cam will put me up there on stock heads? or should i get heads also?

 

The cam I'm using.

But if you've got 5k in your pocket, I would get a heads and cam package from Lloyd Elliot or Advanced Induction. You can get a decent heads and cam package for under 2k. And the rest of the money can go towards full bolt-ons, gears, and a stall if you have an auto.
