Intake centerline and exhaust centerline combined, then divided by 2 = LSA.

I sure am! I plan on stage 2 Bullet Racing Cams from Modular Head Shop.

How about you? Which ones are you liking?

Rod, what attracts you to the Bullet cams? Which cam are you going to go with when time comes?

I like them because they don't require aftermarket springs, they clear at a very safe spec, and make great power in the stock rpm range. I'll be going with their stage 2 n/a cams.

BTW, these cams are very similar to the CMS stage 1 cams, but with a tad more intake lift, and intake duration. If you look at the sucess rate and dyno numbers (not just the peak numbers either) of the CMS stage 1's on stock heads, you'll see why these grinds should do ever bit as well, and maybe a little better.

Yes... and you should replace the valvesprings no matter what cams you get. Do it right.

well i've heard and read that if you have relatively low miles (i have 30,000) that it's safe to keep the stock springs.
