Hey guys, I was wondering if you had any advice of what cam I should run with AFR Heads and 1.7RR's. I have a .550 max lift on my springs. The car is just gonna run mostly street and is a stick car with 3.73's. Hopefullly you guys can help right now I am thinking of the Crower 15511. Sounds perfect!

So far it seems noone has ran the 15511 or doesn't like it, everything I have read on it has been good, along with the trickflow stage 1. So what do ya think, trickflow or crower?

Thanks for the help guys, I am leaning towards the trickflow stage 1 mainly due to price and it seems a little more agressive than the Crower 15511. Due I have to run the springs that are recomended for the cam or can I use the ones on the AFR 165's. Because if I have to change them, I might at well run a bigger better cam above .550 lift, what do ya think?

Gotta use the ones that are right for the cam, otherwise if you over spin it you'll hurt all kinds of parts.
