What Cam?

[Jared]

gm hot cam is a very small cam, not much of a need for a stall...it would help, but not mandatory. IMO from what I have always read, and confirmed in my thread I linked, anything larger than the 212/218 (maybe a 216/2xx) will really benefit from a stall.

Do what you want, just trying to get you more information to make a better decision. Everyone here knows I research for fucking ever before buying. I've been stubborn too many times and I won't do it again. I don't want to stall right now, so I will run with a smaller cam.

I saw you post in the thread I posted a link to Jared (I think). You looking for the 212/218?

 

[Jared]

yes, but I have decided to hold off a while. There are other things I need.

[Gannon]

It will be a speed machine, just not off the line. Once you up in the higher rpm's it will do its job.

[Jared]

and if I were buying one...it would be Yank or Circle D. Most rave about Circle D on pt.net. It was always yank on ls1tech.

 

[Gannon]

I believe the circle d is cheaper by quite a bit also.
