Default Please help me select a cam. My time's running out.

I need help deciding what cam to get. Total mods I will have when this rebuild id complete are; MSD Coil, high torque mini starter, windage tray, cobra intake, high flow water pump, equal length shorties, off road h-pipe, 70 mm t/b, c&l 73mm m/a cold air intake, 24# injectors, and adjustable fuel pressure regulator. My heads, rear, and suspension are stock. The car is going to be a daily driver but I would like to get some extra hp with the rebuild. I have no clue what I am doing when it comes to cams and none of the past posts in this section helped me. Thanks.

I think a cam with about 118 intake duration should do you well

get either a e303 or trickflow stage 1 cam or go custom... or shop around for cams on comp cams or crane cams website, your going to need a cam that will work from idle to about 5500rpm or 6000rpm or if it more of a track car get a cam that has a operation range from 1500-6500, that will work more for topend or higher reving motors. Id go with the trickflow cam its overall a good cam.
