Looking for a CAM
I am looking for a nice N/A cam, maybe one that I can keep if I decide to S/C later, but that may be some time away, so having to swap later is not that big of a deal. My major concern is smog legal as I don't really want to have to swap it out ever year. SO nothing too aggressive. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Nothing from online. I know a guy who has done an LS9 cam, but I am told I can go larger. If I'm going to do it, I'd like to go as big as I can before it messes with smog. I read that synergy in the bay can custom grind? I might do that.

I just said F it and got a nice cam instead if worrying for smog now I can worry about that later. I went with a JRE rough idle blower cam and am currently running N/A waiting on which FI I want still. It is a solid N/A cam put down 445/412 which is pretty good for a blower cam on 91 octane lol and will perform even better when S/C'ed. Good luck many choices!

I'm looking for the most aggressive I can get, so if he is upgrading happy , I probably wouldn't be happy with it either. I appreciate it though!

I will have to smog next year so I am too close for that now. I like what I read about the night fury? but it's way too big for CA.

Night fury woulda been my next choice but I felt that one was gunna be a hassle controlling the beast in traffic lol if you want to pass smog it'll have to be a baby cam that won't really gain anything at all, if you're gunna cam it might as well go for a good one IMO. Ima just get mines smogged somewhere where they won't look lol where in norcal are you in?

I have been talking to Ryne @ Cunningham Motorsports about doing a smog legal cam too. He does one that is a CMS custom grind. I think I am going to go with him, but I need to work out the logistics.

I will most likely be speaking with Synergy, there is far too much info for me to try and figure out right now. I'd rather give what I want to do to a pro, and get their opinion. Synergy is still a ways from me, but I can do the instal myself. Just need the CAM spec'd.

Rick at synergy Motorsports will not steer you wrong! He is great when it comes to a custom grind. I'm in the same boat...I will be getting a custom cam from him that is smog legal too!
