A lesson in cams
As in, I need one.
What are the popular ones, what kind of performance results are you seeing, are they good hp for the $, what other mods do I need to go with them?

The smaller the numbers, around 224/224, the more emissions friendly they are. Also your torq curve will start in lower RPM. It all depends what your goals are, from speedy daily driver to all out racer. Cost is normally around 300 uninstalled, but for more aggresive cams you'll need springs etc....

We have several smog freindly cams and many, many more that are for "off-road" use only.
Please give me a call and we can walk you through the available cams, installs and tune.
Thanks,
Shawn

Is there a list somewhere of the different cams and info on them? Performance, powerband, etc?

Try www.vincihighperformance.com for a quick overview. Their cam are made by Crane with a slightly more aggresive lift rate, any of the majors Crane, Comp etc will get you info. Also a good tuner can make a more aggresive cam emissions friendly. Good luck.
