I agree, b303 would work great. 1.7 rockers will add a lot of lift to it. Ive got a b303 to sell you if youd like, only 2 or 3k miles on it...

I have 1.6 rockers already, how are the crane cams? I have heard good things about the 2020?

Crane is fine... honestly to me-a cam is a cam as long as its machined correctly... the 1.7 add .030 to your lift.

cam is not a cam....first you ned to sit back and think what you want from the car....I'd steer away from the ABC CAMS you need more lift on the exhaust side and those cams don't haveany only a lil more duration....if you can pm me with all your mods and any future mods I can steer you to a few good cams that make good power and vacuum...just let me know

Thanks vfast, I am doing a fresh bottom end with main support, gt40p heads with better springs, Trick Flow street intake 76mm mass air w/24lb inj. t-5 and 3.27 gears any thing else you need. I drive the car everyday to work so it can't be crazy.

you can always call the cam companies and get their tech support people to help you select which cam will work best for what you have and what you want it to do, now and in the future. since they do this for a living, they should know better than anyone what works and what doesn't! I like Comp Cams over Crane, but that's just personal preference.
