#33749, "Top end kit/cam question"


          

Ok, im in need on the timing belt/headgasket so I figured I would just get the top end kit from howell and was wondering what cams I should get with the mods I have (see below)?

I wanted a little more that just the street #10 cam but am not sure how beneficial the nitrous/turbo/drag grind would help me?

I want a nice all motor car for now. any suggestions with the mods that I have, and will the top end kit have all I would need. Ill need the waterpump I guess but what else?

thanks alot cams are new to me so I wasnt sure which grind I want

To make the most of auto tranny performance (oxymoron hehe), a 3000 stall is a great idea.

If you got one, the car would be faster, therefore putting the cams to good use

Baecause the torque converter will spin and not lock up until a higher rpm, the cams move the power range to higher rpms, so to take advantage of them, especially at the track you need a higher stall Torque converter.

I would strongly suggest an S-AFC to be able to tune the cams and get a good idle. The stock ECU just loves to dump fuel in.
