well im swapping my motor and tranny into my 89 notch outta my GT.
Was wondering how much i might benifit from a custom cam with my set up.
i plan on puttin the bottle on it before the track opens up.I know without a doubt i can tune my car into the mid 12's with what i got. should i spend the money and go with a ground cam while i got the motor out, or is the E cam good for me....oh see sig for mods
As always thanks for yalls professional responses.

I'm sure you can benefit from a custom cam. www.flowtechinduction.com Ed can set you up w/ a badass cam. $325, but 325 well spent. I got my NA cam from Ed, will be calling him up in a few days for a blower cam now

No doubt, a custom cam can perform better than an off the shelf cam as long as it is made for your specific combo. However, if you are looking for 12s, it's not hard at all to do that with an off the shelf cam. It would be a lot cheaper. Custom grinds have the cool factor when you are bench racing, but are not always needed to to meet your goals.

If you don't mind the 325, I'd say go custom. Looks like you already ran a few 12s. Even if you just add the spray I bet you'd be lookin at least at low 12s (w/o the custom cam) possibily more. Your choice

I would also think you would benifit from a custom cam, I would let Ed know the car is more a NA car but will see some N2O. He goes on vacation soon so get your order/questions in....

With my old 302 combo (see it on page 7 of my site) I went 11.80 @ 116 on motor (ET STREETS) went 11.11 @ 130 on a 175shot (ET STREETS) car made to much torque and was a handful before the 1/8.
