Cam Suggestions

CPower06 · 11-04-2009, 06:46 PM

Looking for some suggestions on a good cam. got a 96 standard cab 5 speed. it currently has a pulling cam from scheid.. 66/71/16 over an s480, ddp4 injectors, other fuel work. just swapped the 13mm pump for a built 12mm pump needed to de-tune it so its more "daily-driveable", looking for some good cam suggestions, heard the Felix II was good...

Yeah, there were some big debates about cams over on CompD. The Helix 2 is a nice cam, thats what I run. A lot of people are really starting to like Fletcher's cam too (More lift, but still really streetable).

are you sure a diff cam will make it daily drivable? wouldnt that cam help with spoolup which would make it better? I have a Helix 2 and am unimpressed at best with it. I would stick with the scheid cam personnaly, otherwise if your interested Ill pull my cam and swap with you if you want.... and that is no joke
