I was wondering if anybody knows what kind of lift/duration cams i should use in my mildly modified street car to get max power but retain daily driveability.

My mods include GReddy cat back, Hi-flow cat,header,venom intake manifold, msd ignition, coil,wires,aem cai ,and 75 shot nitrous.

Also was wondering what the highest compression i could run on 93 octane and stock rods was.

Thanx for the help.

C,MON GUYS I KNOW I'M NEW BUT, I NEED A LITTLE HELP,PLEASE.......?

well given that you have n20....i would go for the crane nitrous grinds...i have them all motor and they make great power....don't bother with street grinds....could probably even push it to drag grinds if you've got some fuel system upgrades..

I think more people on this forum know more about turbos than they do cams. Personally I like n2o and cams over turbo but do not know much just do some research and e-mail companys like Crane and Crower. If they selll the cams they better damn well know every question you have about them. good luck

I'm banned because i suck

Drag cams are faster than nitrous cams. If you like to shift at 2000 rpm, keep the stockers - otherwise get the drag cams.

thanks guys.
Hey MetalJim do i need any valvetrain or fuel upgrades to run those drag cams?

Definately get some PT lifters.

I think you would be fine with the stock springs/retainers and injectors for an entry level drag grind like the Crane #16 or Crower stage 2. Anything bigger and I would probably upgrade the injectors, rockers, and possibly(depending on the lift) the springs and retainers.

Yeah upgrading lifters is a very good ida, also rockers for stregnth, If you are going with a mild street grind, PT rockers are fine. Above that with the lift and abuse I would say go with Black Dog for better oiling control.

But a nitrous grind would be good for street, or a drag grind, but wither way I suggest getting at least an S-AFC to control that fuel. Our ECU has a tendancy to dump a lot of fuel in. You don't want to flood the motor with too much fuel, or not enough if you get high enough on the amount of air coming in.
