I'd go with the TFS stage 1, or if you want a little more rumble, the stage 2. Either cam should work pretty good for your setup. What do you have for a carb?

Click to expand...

Im running a edelbrock 650 AVS set up with a m6904 carter fuel mech fuel pump..its rated at 6 psi and 120 gph....if i have to i will go either a booster pump or a holley blue type pump...for more fuel...Plus i am going to be installing Nitrous too.....So thats why i want a cam that works with n20 and has some punch on just motor too...

A custom camshaft would be your best bet.

I see two choices:

TFS-1 (budget) or custom camshaft (I paid $325 for mine to match the AFR 165's, etc. that I had).

It was well worth it from Ed.

Custom is an opition...Is the TFS stage 1 a good sounding cam with decent power? I did a search here it seems like alot of people use it i see alot of people use the TFS stage 2 also....Any other opinions...?
