86onboost

Hi i have an 86 notchback ( coupe) and i was wondering what kind of cam should i buy, this car is strickly for drag racing, it can sound as loud as it wants, which i want it to sound.

i want high rpms power, because ill be on the gas the whole time, im switching to a 4:10 or a 4:30 gear because i drag race in the 1/8 mile. any suggestion are welcome.


can anyone send me a link of a cam i should buy for my 5.0 86 notchback that is for strickly for drag racing thanks.



also i heard stock heads on the 86 was the worst, i have 2 spare 92 5.0 engine should i switch my heads, or get gt40 heads, real low on money so now elderbrock heads, srry.

If you are racing 1/8th mile strip you should use 4.57 gears with fairly tall tire.........
BTW, I'd use one of the later engines due to positive piston deck in '86 5.0's........
