Default RE: Cam size

go with a E cam. Its .498 lift. Its cheap, it will sound nice, dish out some power, and clear your pistons. Cant beat it. Go with the E cam.

yeah thats cheeper, if you can get a 1.76 rocker run them, that will give you a little more lift. if you want to do a cam save for heads, i wish i did.
