Default Cam?

Alright... so i am done with quite a bit of airflow mods. A list is in my sig... anyways....

Should i go for a better cam? I would buy springs and everything... but im in a quandry. I cannot seem to tell if i should move straight into my suspension or i should put a hotter cam and adjustable cam gear in!

If i do the cam sometime soon id do a good portmatch on my manifold as well. Anyways.... im just lost.

What should i do next?????

(P.S. i have been having some difficulties with the Borla Header i had ordered. The place doesnt have it and they keep telling me they do... So a new pacesetter is en-route and will be installed as soon as possible)[:'(]

alright. So i have been doing some snooping for what I will go ahead and purchase within the next several months. I ave decided on a slightly big job. New Cams, Cam Gear, valve Springs, and I would install the new Header at the same time. My question is... what Cam should I purchase. I was thinking of the Crane SOHC Camshaft #0012. It looks to be a more serious cam. I will be doing headwork and such... but not for a while. What should I get?

I have, but i am hesitant until after my cam install. My engine is too stock for a ig intake manifold such as the indy.

Yes I have[X(]. J/K.

Try to get an armor coated or SS header. If pacesetter, get armor coated.

Good choice. I wish I would have purchased an armor coated one but I have the Regular Pacesetter header. I'll be replacing my whole exhaust one day.
