Cams
I agree on the intake comment. And understanding on needed to run what you have. And that's OK. Just think when you do swap it for a better one you will be making your engine even better:) about the Hughes cams.. well the old ones were junk but the newer ones are fine. I run one of there solid lifts with no problem. I also agree NOT to build a engine for sound. But. For a driver and for a radical sound the whiplash make I figured u might like it. And they designed those cams for people that build for sound so they won't have over cammed engines. But if I was building it I would use the xe262 comp can for a mild build and lots of tq like for a heavy car or maybe u need to tow something but for a lighter car I would prefer the xe268 there great cams and yes they like 3:55 gears and like a 2200 stall. But that's my opinions on it all.
