Yeah no problem for emissions, the cats are going, and wyoming doesn't have emissions and my car is registered there, so I am good to go there, thanks.

what tranny do u have? i would recommend at least a 2800 stall if an auto, if you plan on turbo/super charging later, you should look at those special grinds with a bigger split in duration. i havent really got a chance to see how my cam/heads perform, my tranny blew after 2 wot blast

Do a search on the subject and find what others have said. After you read a few, you start getting an idea what you want for yourself. Regarding cams, you will have hours of reading!

I found that little search button to be a helpful friend.

Thanks guys, I am going to be building a motor just for turbos later down the road, I am just doing this now becasue it is a bit cheaper than 15,000 dollars. I am running an auto, and was thinking a 2500- 2800 stall would be perfect

CC306 cam is a nice cam with good manners. I know plenty of people that have it in their cars.

go with 306 if its a manual, i'd take an Xe 230/236. some say i'm a bit radical though

Then again i'm pushing over .600 lift on a street driven hydrolic roller
