which cam would you choose 5.2 magnum
as i have to find a suitable cam i´ve sent out some requests to
Lunati
Hughes
CompCams
Herberts
Howards
Bullet-Cams
and Crower
waiting for their answers...
in the meantime user Lelo Dart (thank you mate) showed me 2 links to a guy selling regrinded Magnum cams on Ebay.
searching FABO an the Web lead me to several posts from the past where this guy and his stuff received good reputations
so i think it would be a reasonable way to buy one of these cams
the question will be whitch one to take...

and this is where it should went in
5.2 magnum - year 2001
stock heads with huges springs HUG 1110 (Portmatched to Edelbrock Magnum Intake Gaskets)
(maybe i will give them a clean up and a slight Port and Bowl job)
CR 9.0:1
long tube Headers
Stock converter
rear 3.91
tire 26.1
weight 3050 lbs
the price of these cams is very hot - especially as i have to add shipping costs to germany and approx 20% for customs and taxes....
so it makes a big difference buying a cam for 150 USD or 300 USD or maybe 400 USD
