Re: TPI CAM??

That would depend on what cam.

Virtually ANY cam you get will be bigger than what's most likely in there; even the stock cam out of some other SBC.

What do you have in mind?

Re: TPI CAM??

What other mods?

(No, not what brand of plugs or whatever; gears, torque converter, exhaust are the main things)

Re: TPI CAM??

If you want the most bang for your buck open up the intake and exhaust. Maybe a cool air intake with some headers and cat back system. If your going to change your cam, you should think about changing your intake aswell. All depends on how much get up and go you want?
