Stay away from anything Speed Pro, Federal Mogul (except pistons), or any cheap off brands! The cam you use HAS to have a 112 or 114 Lobe Seperation Angle because you're running TPI!! Trust me on this....I've checked into it! Comp Cams sells specially made cams for computerized TPI engines! Whatever you decide to use, STAY AWAY from CRANE cams!! Get a NextGen magazine! Also, if you have any questions call NextGen Parts at 1-800-921-9214....these guys know what they're talkin' about and have NEVER steered me wrong!
