Poll - Which Cams?

Hi guys,

I've done some searching, but it seems that it's a mixed result as to which cams are the best for N/A, using factory springs. I'm going to be pulling the trigger on cams within the next few months and want to get the best bang for the buck. Please weigh in!

I have ***** thumprs. Biggest cams for stock heads. Idle is serious as hell. Power in high rpms is amazing. Took my buddy for a ride, he said it felt like it never stopped pulling. Only other mods are the tune CAI and axelback. I highly recommend them. Check out my recent thread. "cams are amazing..." I have a before and after vid. Quality suck but you'll get an idea...

Thanks for your input Muscledom. I've watched your before and after vids and it sounds nice! I have JBA LT headers, O/R H-pipe and axlebacks, so my ride is pretty loud now...I can only imagine how loud it's going to be with cams! I've found a lot of people with the FRPP Hot Rod cams, which don't require a Phaser Limiter Kit...but I'm not sure what the difference is in power/sound/idle.

Thanks man. The idle is alot cooler with the Thumprs IMO. But yea ur car will sound like a pissed off dragon. My car turns heads and it's still relatively quiet. Cops and geriatrics are gonna LOVE you lmao

They don't have a very tough sounding idle IMO.

Any of these cams not make the car a ton louder? I have off r x and magnaflow axle backs and it almost sounds stock... Kinda fun to bust on people when they think ur stock... So adding long tubes, cmdp, and a good n/a cam that still slows the car to be more or less quiet would b fun...

I doubt it. My car isn't loud but it's sure as hell ALOT louder than before the cams. Not having cats will turn heads for sure. I get lots of looks, so says my girl, and I basically stock exhaust.
