T-ReX 242/248 .608/.612 110. Ultimate cam for stock heads. This cam took me into the 10.30s with stock heads naturally aspirated. The only thing I had done to the bottom end was a set of rod bolts. I have one for sale by the way. It has 25 passes on it, no street use, $300. I'll meet you up since we're close to each other or can ship it to you for an extra $10. Let me know, thanks.

Went 6.50s in the 1/8th and 10.30s in the 1/4 with this cam. The fastest cam only car has the T-Rex. It's proven. I picked up 35 rwhp with this cam over my MTI C2 cam. Again, the ultimate cam for stock heads. I know I could of dipped into the 10.20s with the weather that has been around for the past couple of days. $300 for the cam. I have a set of 7.4" pushrods as well with 25 passes and no street use for $85.

$385 for the T-ReX cam and Comp chromoly hardened 7.4" pushrods. Add a Patriot dual spring kit and you're looking at $610. The kit comes with dual springs good for .650" lift, titanium retainers, spring seats, and Super 7 locks.

I don't daily drive my car, but there's lots out there who do with this cam. If you're worried about gas mileage, that will be dependent on your foot. Any cam will give you bad gas mileage if you're constantly in it.

Buy his cam and pushrods for $385 and then save up for some dual springs like PRC's from TSP and you will be good to go and cheaper

Where are you located? I see A-town, TX. I'm in Alvin. You'll also save on shipping and there won't be any taxes, keep that in mind too.
