Default Question

I know it may be stupid question but I am looking at cams for my 96 Trans am and I found some that are computer control and some are not do I have to get a cam that is computer comtol or no? I was look at at the comp cam 503 but that is not computer control and the 302 is.

No, you don't need one that is labeled "computer control". If you go with one of those, you won't be upgrading much if any over stock. ANY cam that is worth installing will need a PCM tune.
The CC503 is a good choice and will pass emissions just about anywhere with a proper tune.
Have you done the basic mods that should precede a cam swap?
M6 or A4?
