Cam motion in my opinion.

The bullydog system I bought you can custom tune as you add mods, or so I've been told. Just went through the menus on my bullydog and sure enough there is nothing there to change for aftermarket upgrades like I was told. Do I need to go to a shop for a custom tune?

212/218 or something similar is a good plan. Custom tune can be done thru the mail if you plan on keeping it somewhat basic. Many of the site sponsors do mail orders for around $300.

Yeah when i said ol standby i meant that its a very common cam that a lot of people turn to. If you get the cam and other valvetrain upgrades then you will need to ditch the handheld tuner and get a custom tune, or mail order tune would be better than any handheld tuner.
