I'd get a 3/4 race cam but be sure to get some good race spark plugs or they will foul out. I'd also get a k&n filter and hypertech race chip. For it to be loud run some high quality straight pipes.

Get a hypertech handheld tuner and pull the stock y off and your there. Hell that will prolly put you at close to 200mph with 1000hp. Then you can go take down a some zr1s.

only thing is if you do the 140mph cam you must order hydraulic dohc mudflaps and replace your blinker fluid with hypoallergenic synthetic fluid............also replacing the exhaust with a 6.35 Volt tip is reccommended...................

Funny stuff guys, but I think he's serious and just needs a little education on what cams do.

Yo Fly, cams don't make an engine louder, exhaust does that (or lack of exhaust). A cam might give you a little lope or chop and make it sound more aggressive at an idle, but not really "louder".

Here's a link to electric exhaust cutouts, which is what will make your car 'loud' at idle and much cheaper than a cam.
http://www.summitracing.com/search/P...haust-Cutouts/

Your other thread had some comments you really need read again. Especially the one about your car being safe enough to drive 140mph and needing the right suspension, tires, etc to go that fast.

As mentioned before, 140mph is possible with a stock car once you tune it. Most of us are not after a top speed, we're after acceleration. Most of us actually reduce our top speed by getting taller gears and tires for better acceleration.

And what do you mean by 140mph open throttle? If you really want a cam, you need to research what they do and give us some more detailed goals for your car.
