i saw a site feedback section on the front page, i will post there about a faq section <IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"></P>


about the cams, according to www.summitracing.com the e-303 has good idle and midrange, the b-303 has good low end torque and lots of power over 4000 rpms, and the x-303 is good for around 6500 rpms. the b-303 sounds best for your application to me.</P>

i agree too, but ease up on them a little bit. do be staight up with whoever talk to,and don't listen to joe shmoe either...no offense joe. get a comp cams book from them atleast the book will show youwhat you need in order to have that particular cam.stock heads will hold you backalso if they don't flow well.a cam is like an air pump. if it can't pull air through your heads you are going to have more than just drivibility problems. so in light of this take your time,and write everything down..twice

sort of , in general the lift and duration get bigger , less agressive cams have better reponse and torque at low rpm and more aggressive cams have higher hp number at higher levels of rpm , very generally speaking , thats prob what you have heard of </P>

thats where it all depends , i will keep it simple , putting a drag race cam in a stock 5.0 and it will run like *** , put a stock 5.0 cam in a pro 5.0 car in the nmra and like wise , but these are drastict comparisions, there is no better , but more like optimum one , your intake track from air cleaner to cumbustion chamber , then from there to your exhaust tip can only flow so much air/exhaust , you need to pick the right one , you can push this envelope a lil , but you will scarifice something always .
