Random which cam is best for the tib?
I am sure you have covered this somewhere but i havent found any posts yet. I am going to get some cams for my 2001 tib but i am debating on what to use. I have looked at the Cat Cams from JrPonlin.com but i havent seen any specs. I know you were talking to a guy about the specs one time or another.. I am also seeing the RPW cams from SR.. I am thinking that i am goning to keep it N/A... If there is any info that you can send this way that would be great!
Thanks,
Mike

how fast you wanna go ?
You can get extreme cams or mild ones
it all depends on how fast you wanna go. The lumpier the cam the harder the idle.
Extreme cams will definantly need tuning, so keep that in mind.

Well, the problem is that the tuning is done to optimize the power of mods, not in anticipation of them. If you want to go with aggressive cams your best bet is to get the other mods done first, then drop them in and tune the engine. Otherwise you'll be on the dyno to retune after each modification.

Haha, deer meat 
Mmmmm (insert Homer Simpson drool here)
Anyway, you must also choose cams for what method you wish to feed the car. If you are going to keep it N/A, then your choices are radically different than if you were gonna boost it.
Nitrous useage, in terms of dynamic compression and dynamic volumetric efficiency needs, is identical to normal aspiration. If you plan on spraying and never boosting, then just look for a great set of N/A cams. RPW has a few options, Shark Racing can sell you an *upgraded* stocker part, etc.
Keep in mind, to get the most out of a set of cams, the cylinder head really needs to be reworked -- especially on the exhaust ports.

i plan on getting all the other mods done first. i have cai,about to put on the sr 4-1 header,and i have an apexi n1 cat back and the pipe is 2.25. I am going to keep it N/A so spraying is not going to happen...anyhow, Dose anyone know the specs on the cat cams verses the RPW from SR? I am going to find a IM from a junker and if it is tip top i will have it bored..i also want to get the bbtb from SR so there will be no need to get a stock tb bored...
