baha, The labor on putting a cam in is a little out of my reach, escpecially if I am going to be buying an intake/springs,control arms, but I do want a cam eventually, but everyone in the forums pretty much agrees to do that when I get heads. Do u think that it would relly help out that much without heads?</P>


also, anyone know about the springs? progressive/specific </P>

You get the most horsepower out of your heads basically. You should invest in a good set.

love the avitar<IMG src=smileys/smiley10.gif border="0">a tweezer is a computer programmer for your ECU. it adjusts everthing from a/f ratios, AOD shift points, basically everything the computer controls. they are like $500 and are basically manditory with mildly modified engines to get the a/f ratio correct. or just switch it to a carb setup and dont worry about electronics <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

Well, all of your mods are bolt ons really, the cam will help of course but if you upgrade the intake or carb (iof carbed) heads etc you will find that cam more usefull. I use a B currently and like it just fine with my mods, Id recomend it for you. As you make other mods youll find you want a differant cam tho...

Ofcourse a set of heads is recommended, but you need no less than 900$ for a good aluminum heads. as cam makers claim, a cam with stock heads will give you 8-15hp depending on your modes. as for witch cam to choose, FRPP E cam is intended to use with AOD trans, B cams are for manuals, but a friend of mine has a 1994 GT with manual trans, he tried both cams and he felt the E cam has more power!!!
