ATI is the best, 25% is the one that will be more worth it.

I've used Powerbond for years and no problems. Im using a 10% powerbond on my 416 4th gen but My L99 did not like my 25%, all engines are not equal so I went back to stock. I was having charging issues.

No I'm still learning too lol.

Im running a cam just under what your looking at 233/244/112 .598/.601. Yes it bucks a little at low RPM's but with a really good tune you don't really notice it. I don't pay attention to fuel mileage so can't help there. Cruising is no problem. It sounds MEAN!!

If you go for it make sure you get a high quality set of springs.

I am also installing the 231/247 at the moment. I am hoping to fire her up the weekend after Thanksgiving.

My friend has the same cam you mentioned though (235/251) and he uses it with a 3600 stall. He loves it and has no issues so far. I know he ran low 12's not too long ago but had a hard time with traction. He was just getting used to the new stall.

I'd like to hear these cams sometime in the future, you guys ever run up at GLD?

I have never been there before, as a matter of fact i haven't run my car at any track yet but I believe that is where my friend runs his. I may check it out next summer if not we can meet up at local car meets.

Oh I know I'm getting a live tango video call on this first firing up right?

Oh also before you button on the heads, did you decide on drilling the lifter trays to allow the oil to drain down a Lil quicker? It's optional.

Lol, I have no idea what tango is. Is that one of those skype thing? Lol. I may upload a video on here if nothing blows up.

I drove my wife and I through the Texas hill country, did not race a sick challenger on I10

, rode the curves, and still averaged 25 mpg over the entire trip. I love my 3200 stall, couldn't imagine it any different. Owen at ARD really hit the nail on the head as I specified needing a family friendly ride, but I wanted to make some sick power and have a cam that really loped. When I picked it up, I kind of had a lump in my throat bc It was nasty load and the car was shaking and bucking, but once she warmed up smooth as ever, we'll kinda haha. I very highly recommend both my cam and ARD.
