hey all i ran a quik couple of searches and didnt come up with much. im basicly in need of some good cam choices/specs etc for when my motor gets built. just brought a reco port and polished head with arp studs etc for a song and i figure instead of using my existing cam i mite aswell buy a new one. its a weekend car not looking for huge power althought want to make some decent power.its not a daily driver what sort of cams etc should i be looking at.i already have a wade "stage2" suposibly but i dnt get this stg1 2 and 3 **** sounds like bull to me unless i here specs. any help much apreciated as i dont know to much about cams etc. cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what are the specs of your car? Why not get a custom grind to suit whatever you have? Also might throw in. IF its standardish, wade 818b? Anyone have any thoughts on this cam?
