    you dont need a cam to run 12s. you need a cam to run CONSISTENT 12s.

    if you get a cam then get an s1x. screw that XP garbage.

    If you want a cam, then my suggestion is doing the research. Read lots of posts unbiasedly. If you come here and only ask w/o doing any work...you won't know if we aren't suggesting stuff that will blow your car up when you turn the key.

    And whatever you do...please, drop the pulley envy. Pulley envy is simply the same as penis envy. Each car is different and should be treated as such. S1X and XP are probably the best good power starter cams available. If you plan on doing heads..then you need to figure out a setup and pick the best cam.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Check out the XP-Z cam

    I got the XP, and think I should have got a larger cam...

    ALSO!!! don't forget to turn down / machine your blower snout so you can run sub 2.8" pulleys..

    I forgot while blower was off the car..

    s1x is a nice cam. someone correct me if im wrong, but arent the rocker ratio's in 2000+ actually 1.66 vs. 1.6? if so, then the cam specs advertised will be SLIGHTLY higher, since they list them for 1.6 rockers. something to keep in mind when using stock heads. again, correct me if im wrong.
