I don't have time to wait for a custom cam, and i am having trouble trying to get ahold of Bret. So i narrowed it down to these cams. Let me know.

I say go with the Gm 847. With the heads, M6 tranny and gears you have, it will perform outstanding results. You wont be disappointed. I would like to see a video of your set up on the track when you get it done.

What is it you are wanting to do with your car? You have to consider the use.

I have the 847 and am Very happy, it could use a little more top end pull though. It seems to quit about 63-6400.

yep, and a custom grind could give him those specs and an unlimited redline.... but he doesn't want to listen.

Do you have stock heads? most people with that cam have no problem reving to 6500-7000.

Yes I have stock heads, for now but a 381 will bring the RPM range down a little as well from what a 350 would do.
