Is anyone running one?? I currently have a Lunati 51014 that I have not installed yet. I heard that the X cam gives great power (just drive ability sucks) but I have a DD. And I know you need to cut the pistons..

I'm thinking about going with Trick flow twisted wedge heads, X303 cam, and a Holley Systemmax upper and lower. I also will be doing long tubes, what do you's think good set up or no?

Thanks guys

Would you use a computer processor invented in the 80s to supe up your desktop PC?

So why use a camshaft invented in the 80s to supe up your car?

I gotta go with Adam on this one..will many people due run them cams and they may see good results, i dont think its 90% of people, and if it is 90% of the people they could be doing better.....and u will no doubt get more power with a custom cam and not have to worry about cutting the pistons and such, and u can tell them exactly what u want the car to do, and not just buy a cam because "someone" said it will be good with ur combo, if anything with that cam and intake i would think ur low end tq would suffer,,I'm am not a cam expert by any means but...You didn't cheap out on ur Name brand Aluminium heads nor did u on ur intake, why cheap put on the cam which is one of the most importtant things in the equation in making power and making that power at what rpm u want...good luck man

I 100% agree with the both of you....Sorry if I came off like that Lol.

But I could get a very good deal on an x cam instead of spending $300+ a custom grind...We'll see I do agree about not taking the cheap way out when it comes to the cam.

If I have enough $$ I will 100% get the custom grind. I might look into Comp Cams..

Not saying you have to buy a custom, even a TFS Stage 1 would do you better then a letter cam. The Crower 15511 is a great little cam. I don't know too much about the Lunati. An AFM B-31 cam will work with the stock pistons and 94-95 eec too.
