So, im back!

you think? im just unsure if it will be too big.
I figgured i may as well give it a shot asking here as you guys were so helpful with my previous questions. not even the camshaft manufactures give much insight into it. I guess because they dont have to.
I also imagine it will be pretty cranky with LSA 110 :punk:
Either way, there will be skids :driving:

yeah well my opinion is if its not a streeter then you can really go as big a cam as you like, but obviously you rev a V6 too hard and you need to start upgrading lots of other stuff!

im more looking at the RPM range for those and i know in a race car you don't really care about anything below 3000-3500rpm, and want it all in the mid to top end!
