Default cam suggestion

what cam would be best with my mods. I want to be in low 14. I was looking at the thunder racing cams. They seem reasonable priced

comp cams has the popular 212/218, and since you have a stall and longtubes the TR220 could be a good one too, maybe even the TR224

Id take full advantage of that 3000 stall and go with something around 220 to 224 duration on a 112 or lower with some advance ground in and a medium high lift.

Decide on one, then go bigger. You'll wish you did.

Yeah go bigger , more power...I've been looking at 224/228 with a 114LSA, should be decent enough to give you power as well as a good drivability...It all depends on what you are running now and what you want to run...
