What cam with this combo?
 

Ok, so come this spring I'm putting in some mods but im not sure what, if any, cam i should put in there with it.

I'll be running pulleys, 65mm tb, gt40 upper/lower intake, gt40 heads, off road h-pipe, t-5 tranny.

I still haven't purchases the heads/intake, there the big mod for this spring. I have everythign else on the car though. When i put the heads/intake on the car, should i replace the cam with something a bit bigger or should i leave it stock? I figure since I'll have the entire upper end of the engine apart, i mine as well replace it. Whats your opinions, keeping in mind im doing this on a severly limited budget. The car is used as a daily driver, with a visit to the track every now and again. But i want to get some balls in it. Thanks for the help guys.

I'm probably going to be keeping the stock rockers on there, so how big of a cam can i go w/ them and the stock pistons on a ported and polished gt40s?

I think the limit on lift is around .540, but don't qoute me on that. I would not run a cam that "big" with your combo though. The stock cam should work pretty well for what you have.

BTW, I am going to eat some rice at E-town next sunday, Nov 3rd, During the "high tech imports vs American muscle" event.

yo what time is that event.... I'll definately head out for that one....

Gates open 8am, time trials 10am-1pm, eliminations 1pm

It sucks for me, I need to drive 2 1/2 hours to get there.

Theres so many cams out there to pick from. with a 3.55 or 3.73 gear the E-303 makes killer lowend and midrange power to 5500.

The B cam w/ 1.7s makes killer power to red line but doesnt kick in till about ~3000.

Skyler

well the theres racers who get 12's with still the stock cam with the right combo, but IMO i'd look into B-303, E-303, or the steeda #18 cam isnt bad either, all good street cams

yo i see ya guys there..ill br driving a 87 black lx with either a white stormin norman hood or a a primer black hood with a hole in it..

Whats better cuz i normally shift right about 5500 right now. So would it be better for an idle to 5 grand cam or a mid range(3000) to redline cam? I mean once your racing your up above 3grand anyway right.


Anyone have there racing numbers yet? I'll be driving a blue/purple 89 lx hatchback. i believe my number is 4067 or something like that... come find me.

and i have feeling ill be keeping the 3.27 gears
