cam choice

Yes you have to give more info like your staying stock everything else or doing a cam and intake or whatever the case may be, and if the car is an auto or 5 speed, and rear gear ratio also!
There are alot of things that have to be considered, but just a suggestion if you just want a camshaft for the awsome sound of having one just get an E cam will be ok with stock heads and springs long as they arent worn out, and the duration will be ok with and auto if you have a afive speed you can choose a b,e, or f cam ( or similar cam specs) and be ok with factory components!
E cam lift is .498 w 1.6 rockers and .529 lift with 1.7 rockers
B cam lift is .480 with 1.6 rocker and .510 with 1.7 (sounds more agressive than the e cam)
F cam lift is .512 with 1.6 and .544 with 1.7
the durations on these cams arent so much you need any other mods but is recommended b and f cam for 5 speed only.
every camshaft will work at a different rpm and better or worse with certain intake and heads!
how to figure out lift of the cam is the grind lift ex: ecam is .311 x rocker ratio 1.6 gives you .498
if you want something cheaper and better sound, if your the sound guy is the tfs stage 1 it is a .499/.510 only with a 5 speed unless you have an aftermarket TQ converter.

a couple mild computer compatible cams are the Crane 2031 and Steeda #19, i like my #19. Adder is right though with a tune you can run pretty much any cam in our cars with good results. How radical you go with the cam will depend on your heads and intake.

ok then i wont ...lol
i traded a used t5 for them ...as long as they fit ok i'm sure i'll be happier with them than stock
i'm trying to avoid having to get a tune untill i can afford it
