Default Okay new problem

Sorry if i am bothering you guys with this stuff and am not sure this is where it should go but here I go again.

Okay the 96 cobra I raced a few days ago Just put his car in the shop to get a procharger put on his car.

Thanks for all your help

No problem man, on a more technical note, your car will take a 150 all day long provided you take the proper precautions. Good luck, get it on video

Okay what do you guys think about this crane cam specs are 224° 224° 286° 286° 114° .551" .551" and they sell a full setup with roller rockers and everything I will need to bolt this thing up. Will this cam work well with juice? What else will I need to make the cam run right I know I am going to have to throw some lt's on there anything else?

The cam is fine, it will work ok with the juice. But, if you're gonna get a cam, look into the grinds from Thunder Racing, Texas Speed & Performance, MTI, Futral, etc... 'cause they're proven cams.

Keep the stock rockers. They're very good.

If you're gonna spray, a traditional split duration will be best. The G5X3 on a 114 comes to mind as a great cam for both all motor performance and response to the spray. The cam I use is another candidate (see sig).

If you're staying below 228 in duration, stock rear end gearing is fine.
