Mike, how bad is the twisting? I know that on my uncle's 8 second ranger that he freaked when he saw the axle splines twisted. But the shop that made them said they were supposed to do that, and once they do, they would stay there since that's where the metal "wanted" to be. Not sure if it's a similar case, kind of curious I guess.

If you're gonna run the spray alot, look for a wide lsa in the 114-116 range. You'll also want it to be at least 6 degrees larger on the exhaust duration, maybe even more.

I was running a 236/236 .585/585 112lsa cam last year and it worked ok for me. I think you'd like a cam in the 230's. It worked well with some cathedral port heads, and also seemed to run good with my L92 heads. Too bad that broken rod took out a couple of the lobes or I'd still be using it.

Oh man chris If I could afford it I'd be all over some TFS 235's and a fast 92/92 setup with a rollbar, driveline and slicks. But I only make 24k a year and still have 9k left on my car to pay off. Actually that is kind of my list that I see neccecary for the next few years lol.
I am thinking about cnc port 243's. and

I'd prefer that top cam myself (except ground on a 114or115 for nitrous) but I love a great top-end pull. I guess it kinda depends what you're after with the car. Are you street driving it? If so, how much and how much can you tolerate from a car with a larger cam? Being an automatic, if you had a stall you probably wouldn't notice the lope at low speeds much cuz the stall would soak it up.

I've got a nitrous cam in my sixxer, but I decided against it. lol, after the kit, the safety gear, tune, etc. I could buy everything for my supercharger, and there's nothing to refill then too. Was planning on spraying 150, but I'm too chicken, heh.
Didn't see you mention a stall converter, do you already have one or plan to get one? That second cam probably wouldn't 'need' a stall, but it would help if you don't have one already. If ya don't have a stall yet, wait til you pick a cam before choosing your stall.

I bought the car from an older guy last april BONE Stock..so nothing yet...other than in my sig..To stall or not to stall... prolly will?? the jury is still out, because the car leaves hard on the spay as it is 1.6 1.7 60's nos coming in @1600-1700rpm's so am I wasting money and drivability to do so?? If I do stall I would go w/yank 3600 those are the ones I have been pricing.. so top cam w/stall bottom w/out? I only drive it in the summer.. its a toy. I only put 1200miles on it sense I got it and 100 was @ pir
If it were my car I'd choose the larger cam and go with a stall which will let you spray out of the gate,,,,, but at a much safer/higher rpm. It will be much safer on your ringlands and connecting rods and you'll run a quicker ET. Mike
