Here we go finnally!
Hey guys,
Finnally i am getting around to figuring out my rough running tpi issue.
And ive narrowed it down to fuel injectors, Or a chewed cam
So, Ive decided im going to do the cam, timing chain lifters and 1.5's ( or just stock for a little tiny bit)
And new gaskets all around.
Next weekend im going to take apart the car, and pull the cam out of it.
Now, I want to put a cam on it that will make more power then stock, not kill my gas mileage and is computer friendy. and if i could get a little Lope rumble in the idle id love it
Part numbers, or cams u've had in a roller Tpi Suggestions and opinions please have some input!
Relard had a nice cam, but i believe it was a flat tappet
thanks guys!

SHould be a roller cam, I do believe. Unless someone has swapped it out before you got it. IMO, I would do either the LT1 cam or the ZZ4. I did the LT1, but now I wish I had done the ZZ4 cam.
