I'm not sure there is a better cam for your car?

But what is the weight

tranny gearing

rear gearing

tire size

heads and flow

and so on??

What do you plan on turning for rpm... but as a guess
I would say 1 7/8 pri with 3 1/2 collector without
knowing alot of stuff of your engine

That`s a baby cam duration wise...........where do the heads flow best to lift wise? I`m the "bigger is better" guy when cams are involved.

not much gain with nitrous cams beem unless its a real big hit,i will most likely still hit it with a small shot of gas,i have been that way for 25 years ,how ya been you had been ill the last time i rang your work.
