    Another cam question:

    I think I have narrowed it down to 2 cams, unless someone knows of a better one. Comp gave me two recommendations, one for my current mods minus the TB converter, and one for everything I have now plus headers. What would you guys go with? I want power but I also need to drive it every day. I know nothing about cams.

    1st cam: Comp 54-412-11 Advertised Duration 265/271, Lift .522/.529

    2nd cam: Comp 54-426-11 Advertised Duration 275/277, Lift .566/.568

    Well I just put in the Trailblazer stall and like it. I want to go as big as possible without upgrading converters again.

    that second one should work well
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    It is really cheap but will it work?
