New Cam or Stick with Old

Vamp89 · August 19th, 2006, 08:44 PM

Thinking of a new cam or should I stick with what I have or go custom and if custom who? With my mods and adding trick flow or afr 185 heads and a powerdyne or vortech. Heads coming by x-mas and charger at tax time.

also thinking about tf wedge heads. i actually just got a quote from dss for a longblock (level 20 pro bullet) but i read on another board that dss is not one to do business with.

now im thinking if i should just buy a used shortblock have it rebuilt.

Havn't heard much bout them, alot of people do run'em though with no probs.

dss sux....I would maybe buy the rotating assly from them. you need to make a plan of what you want from the car....
the TFS stage one cams works well a bit small but works well in the 5 psi range

Looking for 6-14psi range

Stick with a Vortech and forget about Powergarbage. A good friend of mine makes 520 hp at the wheels with a Trick Flow TFS-51402001 cam (224/232 duration at .050 - .542/.563 lift) and 10 psi from a Vortech S-trim.

Ported Trick Flow twisted wedge heads, Edelbrock RPM II intake, 70mm throttle body, 1 3/4" headers, stock short block (crank, rods and pistons).

Save the $ and buy an race block. 500+ is a ticking timebomb in a stock block.

That's what they say but he has been doing it for years. I keep telling him that too but he keeps telling me "budget build".
