I would just go for the XP like Zipper recommended. It opens up more options down the road too.

well i'm going with the vs cam. and trust me its a hard choice to make. i actuall took everyones advice but at the end decided againt it because i don't have/don' want to do the supporting mods at this time to get it to work.




Rollmaster double timing chain
Comp lifters
130# valve springs
modified retainers
machined oil pump cover
2 paper front cover gaskets

i've got no problem doing any of these but i don't plan on geting a machined oil pump cover or modified retainers or lifters.... i have no problem getting the springs/basic retainers and i've already got the double timeing chain on order

well i finally did it i got the cam and i got the xp cam. i went to zzp with every intent on getting the vs, but after tim showed me the graph with the cam and the tables well that vs didn't look like anything and i was told i wasn't going to loose to much torque or bottom end. i got the 3.4 pully with double timeing chain and 105 springs. and this thing hauls ***. when i got the car back from me i was told try to keep it under 140mph so everything breaks in!!!!! thats the best thing i could ever hear. it idles a little ruff but its not loud due to the fact that i don't have headers i only have the front plong... i guess i will get headers soon so i can be like the sound clips off youtube. i only have 1*kr... i was wondering what are some good 1/4 times for my car??? or where should i be at
