Default Cams, Cams, Cams????
My 95 auto lt1 (daily driver) currently has Intake, 52mm tb, headers (no cat), and a shift kit.... i think im ready for a cam and 1.6 rr's.......... The only questions is which cam and rr's to go with. I've heard great things about the cc306 and lt4 hot cam. Are there any other cams i should consider that have good daily drivability? Whats the difference in gains from these cams hp/trq)? Whats the best website to get these from???

lol this is the topic in about every cam thread. My advice it so just search and read. The hot cam and CC306 are both VERY OLD cams and they are night and day from each other.

The crane 227 (210/224) or lingenfelter 211/219 cam is as big as I would go on the stock stall.

3.73 are what most of the auto guys go with. You'll have to check to see what carrier you have so that you get the right kind.
