yes...leave it stock or put a 4 cylinder in it. that way you can increase your mpg, and since racecars are never really fuel concious it seems like the best bet for you, since it might be embarrassing to have a 400 hp car that only runs 14's

but hey...its your car

So whats a good cam for my street car with a/c??? Im looking into the Andersons n-41???



Any help will be really appreciated....Thanks!
put the b-31 if going with a blower in the near future, decent cam fro a s/c / boosted application and decent street manners, it's similar to the custom I have
