I'll be running into a very good sum of money within the next year or 2 to be able to build a 31 the way i want but, for right now to be honest i just want a cam swap for the sound. I've broke 12's with my current set-up so power is o.k. for a bit but i want that nasty a** lopey idle that sounds just mean as hell but i dont want to sacrifice any low end torque. What cam will give me the sound i want and you all know the sound i'm talking about?

What are your current mods to get you that 12.9 at 106mph?

well my notch ran 12.9 with stock heads and stock intake, has an E cam. E cam is a good cam, doesn't make power over 5400 rpms but sounds good.
