If you're not planning on adding some sort of FI, then there's really no need to do cams in a DD car.

It just seems like it woudl be a bigger waste of money to try and stay N/A than to go FI at some point.

That's just my opinion. If you want a fast 2V, you almost HAVE to go FI with a blower or nitrous, if not, just do some bolt ons and call it a day.

Thats not true. A properly set up NA GT can beat a blown gt that someone dumped all of their money into the blower. I have beaten plenty of blown mustangs because they cant hook up and by the time they do I'm already 2-3 cars in front of them and they have to fight to catch me. Its all in how you build your car.

+1 I have seen a bolt on 2000 GT beat a supercharged 95 GT with motor work, cam, and 4.10s. He couldn't hook up plus he had power loss due to head lift. I still don't doubt that FI is the best way to go. If I had the money I would have gone FI on my car.

I thought it was N20 lol
Dinitrogen monoxide actually lol

And i would normally say VT cams but try crower
So that would make it N20. Di meaning 2 nitrogen, and mono meaning one oxygen.

So swapping out my cam for a aftermarket one and gaining 25-30rwhp isnt worth a cam swap? Doesnt sound right to me

Yes I plan on staying n/a Id just like to get this car around the low 13s high 12s
