Street? Track? Dyno queen?
It is all in what you want.
Do you drive the car everyday?
Gears?
Auto? If so, stall?
Supporting mods?

ull need full bolt ons before you consider a cam. Open up the intake and exhaust before H/C.

All cams are different.
Some perform better at the track, some on the street, and some just make power numbers but don't really perform on any pavement.
Street would be more of a long powerband. Strong from any RPM's.
Drag would be a nice flat powerband, but might be a little smaller.
Dyno would be a short peaked powerband.
