oh well in that case, go w/ the 3/4 race cam, and get it w/ the stage 3 advance timing ground into the cam. it'll sound like a race car for sure!!!

if its too loud, throw on a flowmaster. but its nothing that can't be tuned out w/ the hypertech.

X 2 on the 3/4 race cam plus I would advance the distributor so that as the secondary butterflies on the double pumper open the see through fuel filter will promote the hurst ratchet shifter to send power to the traction bars on the rear causing the 265/60/15 road hugger tires to go up in smoke!!!

hope that helps

haha, back to the point. What is a 3/4 cam, I've been in the game a while and never heard of that. Keep an eye out for the old Thunder cams. They are usually for sale b/c everyone want's the big donkey dick cams now. Plus they don't need drastic tunes and a Fast intake.

if you have to ask, then you dont need to know.

to the OP. just go get a 3/4 race cam and a chip, then use hypertech to fine tune the setup. you'll be set....

People with real fast cars use the 3/4 race cam. make sure to change the jets to add more fuel with that big cam.

With that cam he may need to drill out the jets. I've yet to see jets large enough to accommodate a 3/4 race cam

3/4 cam, ported injectors, and high rise ls9 intake, would own all.
