The difference is pretty significant. Do you have a engine yet? Kinda hard to believe you would not know what cam to get with your engine, assuming you had one. You have roller blocks and non-rollers. Rollers use hydraulic roller cams and hydraulic lifters. Non-rollers use flat tappet style cams and have mechanical lifters. There are a few critical differences in blocks when its time to decide on parts to buy for it. What engine do you have, year and block?

IMHO, You'll be in trouble with that Comps roller if you have an automatic.
I think you'll need some convertor, not much, to really get any benefit from that cam.....
Manual trans and you'll be ok..........

most people will tell you your pissing your money away on a cam if you still have stock heads. IMO you could grab some 1.7 rocker arms, or something along the lines of a steeda #19 or B303 cam (the 19 was the .480 lift no?).

beware, either of those are pushing your stock springs to their limit though

i agree with my77stang you will just be **** in the wind. however, if have to get one get the steeda #18 not the #19 they are meant for 94/95gt. the lsa on the #19 is 115* you more than likely want the #18 with a 112* lsa for a rougher lobe. i assume that what you looking for a good lobe.
