I need a new camshaft...
Not just this second, but I'm told mine is "pitted" where it meets the number 7 lifter - and that's why my lifter wore out and needed to be replaced. I opted not to replace the cam with another stock, thinking this might be an opportunity for nice performance upgrade.
I understand there are performance cam shafts, but I am wondering what exactly makes them "performance." Also, any particular recommendations?
Thanks.
