my car is mostly stock except for exhaust and a K&N air intakeand i plan to doa H/C/I swap with those heads, a BBK SSI intake manifold, and not sure how big of a cam to go with, what do you guys think? oh yea, and i will be getting some longtube headers before long with an o/r x pipe... thanks for the help

I'd do a bunch of other stuff before longtubes,based on your set up, and you won't miss with AFR's. Do you have stock gears?

Call Camshaft Innovations and have them do a custom grind for you.

I think they charge like $250 or something like that.

And bouchermb, why do you say to do a bunch of other things besides longtubes?

Let me see if I can track down the receipt and find out if he broke it down by part. I did heads/cam/roller rockers/lifters and a stroker kit, so I'm not sure if everything is itemized.

If he doesn't have gears, I'd do that, and if there aren't suspension mods done, i.e. shocks, struts, subframe connectors, etc., I'd do that first too.

You gotta get the power to the ground.

well lets say i did all of the chassis stiffening: subframe connectors, strut tower brace, shocks, struts, etc.... do you think would that be a nice set up if i was to get a custom ground cam?
