without knowing what HCI combo and how much spray you plan on, us telling you what off the shelf cam to use would be like shooting in the dark.

your best bet is to get a custom grind cam.

just do a search, this topic is brought up every other day or so

best would be custom grind cam like said before but something like a steeda #19 would work good or maybe a trickflow 2 cam. Could go w/ an e cam to save money but won't get the best power out of the setup.

Understand that bro. Not too sure what they run. Google the steeda or go to steeda for a price. Custom grind will be more expensive though.

yea i found the steeda, its 200 so i can still afford that lol. im pretty new to all this so i say i were to run a steeda 19 cam, edlebrock rpm heads, trickflow trackheat intake, lt headers w/ x pipe, and bigger injectors and pump what do you think id be capable of running hp and 1/4 wise? im possibly spraying 100-125 also.
