Well I'm looking into getting a new cam for the ride but don't know what size or brand to get...... Any suggestions would be helpful..... and the lopeier the better.....and no I do not have a stall converter yet. Thanks in advance for all of the help. Later!

You are going to need a convertor for any cam worth a crap. But you should be able to get away with a LPE 211/219 grind, it what willis used to have in his car when he was here, it was almost as lopey as my hot cam but smaller and does not need a custom tune. But I have the hotcam and I like it, best bang for the buck, but you will need a tune to get maximum benefit from it. I am pretty sure I remember you have most of the bolt ons. Go with a convertor, that will be your biggest gain and the next best step, A vigilante is pretty much guarenteed to knock at least .3 off your time and will set you up for a cam change. Vigilante is exspensive but worth it, its bulletproof and comes with one free stall change.

You can get away with as big as a CC 306 on stock heads they say, and will lope like a SOB.

I have an xtra cc305 if your interested and it uses stock rockers and stock computer tunning. It'll definatly make your car have quit a bit of bump and lump. Let me know it only has 603 miles on it i'll sell it for $120.00 and the vavle springs you'll have to buy yourself but there only $80.00 through thunder racing. Let me know.

Just a thought, Bob gets his cams custom grinded and can have one done for your applications as well. It will be more than $120 but just letting you know. Let's try to hook up this weekend. Later, Mike

Jr the Cam is a CC305 224 intake 230 exhaust 114lsa not sure of the lift at this moment. I'm pretty sure those specs are correct the cam is just a little bigger than the Hot Cam.

Mike- Wait till you hear what I have under the hood now ??? OOOOOOOOOOOlotoooooocash:) the wife was actually very supportive.
