RE: need help with cam!
I have a used Stage 1 Trick Flow. I used it when it was new and it is in great shape. It has about 5000 miles on it. Your valve springs should be changed but other than that I think it would be a great cam. PM me if you are interested.

RE: need help with cam!
sometimes there is just bad metalurgy (sp?) i mean if this thing has been running ok for quite some time and BOOM camsnap its probably unrelated to anything else.
you mention being relativeley broke, i believe a B-303 will work with stock springs to get you up and going - but really you need a spring swap for anything you get and if your going to replace the springs then you wanna get a better cam than a B-303 anyways
matt, did she do that little thing with her tongue like she does to me?
