Re: cam suggestions

headers and exhaust should be first. other wise you'll be choking the hell out of the cam...if nothing else get a good exhaust first.

how much power you looking for?

lot of guys are getting 380-390hp with cams in the 224* range with tuning on stock heads.

alot of guys are daily driving 230+ deg cams with heads....depends on your definition of "daily driver"

Re: cam suggestions

I would suggest the Futral Motorsports F11. I have one, easy to drive with, nice agressive lope to it. It's a 228/230 .581 .591 112LSA . If you want even more than that the F13 is a 230/232 and is supposedly just as streetable. They'll both put down 400 to the wheels with a good tune.

Re: cam suggestions

That FMS cam is a nice one. Couple that with some good port work, gears and bolt ons, and you've got one mean driver.
