cam upgrade question!
im wanting to upgrade my cam and was looking for some opinions on my selection.
the cam i am running now is pretty conservative for my motor and its inccome tax time so now is the time to get this stuff i am also lookig at getting a better converter
here is the cam i am thinking of! i would also be getting good valve springs and supporting hardware
Solid roller, rough idle. Excellent cam for high performance street/strip applications. Excellent mid to upper RPM torque and horsepower in 355-383 cubic inch engines. Needs 3000-3500 RPM stall speed converter, 10:1 or better compression, aftermarket exhaust system and 3.90 rear gear ratio

Re: cam upgrade question!
Do you think you can get that beast running with FI? I'm not sure how picky HSR is, but that's a beast of a cam.
You'd probably need to upgrade your stall speed, and valve springs, maybe a stud girdle as well. Poly locks too.
What heads are on the car? Keep in mind this would be a 3500-7000RPM cam...

Re: cam upgrade question!
the heads are patriot 195's and i would be getting a pi vigilate 3200 converter
and the proper valve springs and locators & retainers
as far as tunning i dont think it would be that bad and i could always run it in alpha n at idle, i dont think its that radical and im rying to stay away from comp cause evreyone runs their cams

no preferece really it just seemed to fit my build. the car doesnt see too much street use and even though its a solid cam being that its roller it shouldnt frequent near as much adjustment
