If you dont wanna go custom, i'd go with a comp XE grind.....

EVERYONE has a letter cam / tfs cam. If youre using the same parts as everyone else, howre you supposed to outrun them?????

I have a motor with the TF stage one. I haven't installed it yet, but it ran strong in the donor car. Sounds about like my E303, but had a bit more low end torque.

I really dont have $300 for a cam I didnt want to spend more then $200 thats why I was looking at the trick flow or another E cam but the trick flow specs looked better then the E cam

If you already have your mind madeup on what youre buying, why did you ask us what we suggest?

Sounds like you basically just want us to pick between a TF stg1 and an E cam... in that case, flip a coin, they both suck.
