cam ?

[96SCstang]

alright, i know there are alot of cam threads out there, and believe me i just went through alot of them. But i couldnt find an exact answer so here we go. i am doing alot of mods on my car right now, and one of them is new cams. i have ported npi heads. now what cam is best for me. i want a pi cam, maybe something in the comp cam lineup or vt engines maybe. my ? is do i need new camshaft sprockets or will my stock ones work. i know i need the new bolt, and can it be done without taking the timing cover off? What cam do you guys rec. for a vortec s-trim, intercooler, pi intake, headers pushing around 12 psi boost? sorry for the long thread and thanks for any info you may have for me.:SNSign:

Well if your going with boost I'd say the VT stage 2 Blower cams. You should call/e-mail them for more info. http://www.vtengines.com/main.htm Once I get the green to make the scene I will be adding VT cams. And the installs Ive read show the timing cover off.

What headwork was done on the NPI heads you have? NPI heads are limited to .550 lift unless the heads are modified to allow for more lift. That said, your car will do well with the Comp 268 or 274 Cam or you can look at Crower's NPI cams. Unless you do some modications to the heads, no VT cam will work.
