pardon me if im ignorant. i have a 01 bullitt (mods are listed in sig) and am thinking of doing cams in dec/jan possibly. what in your opinion would be a safe cam to run on the stock shortblock with the mods i have. i plan on switching to 3.55's in the near future if that is a factor in choosing the right grind.
its my daily driver, only put 120miles on it a week sometimes alittle more if i go out of my way for something.
Thanks for the help

i wouldnt do cam's. they are not worth the money. only real benefit is the choppy sound.

i have an 02 with the basics, CAI and magnaflow xpipe catback system. its my DD and i dont really care about numbers, i just want that badass idle a cam gives you. what all do you have to change with a stage 1 cam? valve springs etc... stage II? recommendations? or just save my money
