Default Changed mind on cam...

Well, I was gonna run the e cam, but now after talking to some people I think i'm gonna run the Lunati cam #51017. What do you all think? Its more aggressive and I only wanna do this once, so nows the time right? THe specs on the Lunati are 276°/286° adv dur, 218°/228° duration @.050", .536"/.536", lift, 112° Sep

What do you all think?

If you are going performer heads and 1.6, check to make sure you have clearance for the valves, I think the performer heads are milled a tiny bit from stock stang heads and you might end up with a hole in piston. Not a 100% sure tho.
