I would go with Crower or Comp or MPH or Houston Performance...all very good modular cam companies.

Stay far away from VT or VTCEC

Yes, thats not a good company to buy from at this time.

I think Fox-Lake sells crower and so does RPMoutlet...go on crowers website for all the vendors.

Oh ok, sorry droptop, i dont want me or anyone else to be caught up in VT's massive pile up.. didn't quite understand there situation

I really like the Hitech Motorsports cams too!

 

[mike97gt]

anyone using or heard anything about comp 268h? thats what i plan on gettin this winter here but still undecided.
want to keep good midrange power.. dont really want to be revving past like 5800-6000..

 

[Steven]

lol i was actually considering those right now.. i'm thinking of going with these instead of crowers.. due to hard press finding the crowers

 

[QTRHRSE]

i used 274 comps and LOVED them... VERY ROWDY and pulled like a sum bitch on the top side of 3500!!!!!!!!!!!

that plus ported PI's in 'vert auto went 108.xx in the 1/4 at FULL weight

If im not mistaken you can order crower cams directly from their website....it allows you to

Wow! Thanks for all the input guys O0 Very much appreciated.

I ran the 268H cams for awhile,and they worked well.Not too radical,and the car went mid 12's all day long with those cams,and they weren't degreed(the RH and LH banks were 9 degrees off from each other). I know it had alot more in it too-the converter was too tight,and the cams needed degreeing to make the most power. Now,for the rpm limits you're keeping yourself at-you don't need anything with more than 220* duration. Those cams made good power,they require you to rev the engine to around 6500-6700.

^^ yea I def. undertsand that... i revved my 274's to about 6600

and the converter... HAHA i was on the stock converter still.

Never had a chance to get a stall in her... then i parked it to buy my 05 and then tore it down for my 4-valve swap.

Woulda ran much better on about a 3k stall...

You'd need approx a 4200 rpm converter for those 274's. The stock converter is 2400-2600,3000 would be like upgrading from a 2.73 to a 3.08 gear in the rear.
The 268's needed approx 4000 rpm,and mine was a 3500 rpm at the time-way too tight of a converter to launch right.

so for comp cams stage 3 npi cams it says a 2000+ stall. Would the stock stall work fine or would you recommed upgrading? http://www.brothersperformance.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/1_391_26/products_id/4272

I guess you could say it'd work with the stock converter,but you'd be stupid to leave the stock converter in it. The car won't be any quicker in the 1/4 mile.
Plus it'd drive like ass...no low-end torque=sluggish all around,all the time. That Comp recommendation of 2000+ is a generic note,and doesn't take into account the function of a lockup converter or the lack or torque for the 4.6L's.
