MSD Cap and Rotor- $145

Also gaskets will be $120

Well i went with that cam because i always told myself i wouldnt get a cam because this is my DD and i wanted reliability. This cam has put down some good numbers and will also pass emissions, which is also another reason.

Why do you ask? Dont like it?
