Good list so far.. if you're going electric WP, go with a cloyes double roller timing set.

Blaster coil is unnecessary IMO.

Go with the racetronix set. Yes, valve seals can, and should be done at the same time.

Another PM sent your way..

Stock heads here,,,,

As far as how well the car drove, the cc306 was butter. But my top end is better now.

alright, PM'ed you back and not sure if i should go electric or not, if it will net me better times on the track that are noticable then maybe and i would do the cloyes double-roller also. If not then will just stick with stock. Have heard so many good and bad things that i just cant decide to get one or not

with a gm847 or a cc306 they are gonna want a lot more revs than a cc503. hence for a daily driver i feel a cc503 will give you more useable power down low unless all you really want is top end. plenty of people do it but the 847 or 306 are right near the limit for stock heads i think, and take a few more revs to get into the powerband. don't get me wrong they are all great cams, just pick the one that best suites your driving style and what you want out of the car.

well seeing how the we have the same cars exactly, pretty much same mods, and same future mods planned as i just got some pacesetter lt's and going tru-duals, then if you get any of this stuff done or figured out you will have to let me know about it for sure! yea, im also looking for pretty much the same exact type of "daily driver, 12 second" cam you are which is why i was choosing to go with the 503 or maybe something custom with specs close to it. Well, like i said, let me know how it goes!

I have the cc503. Very good cam, it drives the same as it did when it was stock. I havent been to the track or had it dyno'd, but it pulls freakin hard! I'm about to try the gm847 though, so it will be for sale soon.

I also have the CC503, I used to daily drive the vehicle and it is a very good cam. Has a nice lope at idle, has NEVER died on me at stop light. Still have stock heads, fuel pump, injecters. Car made 300RWHP 310RWTQ with stock manifolds and cats(madz28 tune). Not sure what is it making now with the Kooks, anyways you will like the cam.
