i thought the higher the # the more overlap.Thus the more lope. Am i not getting something? So i want a cam with an 112 since i want to have a broad power curve personally.

The stocker is 118 or 119. You will want a 112. Lower the number the more overlap. You are bringing the tops of the lobes closer together with a smaller LSA so that would make the lobes overlap greater. Hope I explained it right

Sucks man. Sorry to hear that. Did it tear up the rear quarter or bumper much?

naw it did crack the molding under the pass door.but other than that I dont see any other damage right now.
I am gonna check it out more in the morn when it gets light and take some pics of it.
Whats really messed up is that I was trying to figure out why it was running wierd.It was acting like I was losing my OD gear and then my temp gauge shut off and the car acted just nutty and idled at 1200 rpms.Have no idea why it did that **** but it was running good when the tire blew out LOL.
My car does look completely silly with that donut tire on it though.

That blows no pun intended. I was on I20 headed to Hallsville just past Marshall exit and popped a skinny. Rolling along in the inside lane about 75mph when it went. It yanked the wheel out of my hands and made a hard right, I slid across the outside lane (thank god nobody was over there) and down that steep embankment. I had no control. I finally got it back up on the shoulder, got out swapped the fronts back on it and headed to the track. Had a buddy riding behind me that said when it made the hard right every wheel was off the ground except the front left. He said it looked like it was going on the lid

Yep, that was in your car. It was less than 6 months old when that happened. I thought I told you that story. Sure glad there wasn't a 18 wheeler over in the other lane.

Looks like I had worn the sidewalls out|!!The top just seperated from the side and it looks like it was close on the inside sidewall also.Just glad it didnt tear more stuff up.
Cainsw that sounds like one scary *** ride bro.Mine just got reall loose and I eased it over to the shoulder,although I had just passed a car and they kinda had to slow down a little while I was getting over.Scary stuff I think I will do a better job of keeping good tread in the future!!
