    X2 I've heard nothing but greatness for the daily driver factor of the VS cam or its overall powerband. It's just an easy cam to run.

    But for now, I would just focus on the topswap if you are unsure of things.

    Don't worry, it'll be more technical, as to tuning and stuff, because I dont have a clue when it comes to doing serious tuning.

    I might do the VS I've read up on it a lot and it seems more for what I need...

    I'm kinda thinking about getting another n/a block and building it all nice like, and just top swapping and doing a small cam for a DD.

    Does it not elaborate enough in the statement? Mine sat out all winter...and when it was colder...as in below freezing...it would take a few times to get her going...cammed cars of most any kind don't like the cold.

    Makes sense.

    Both that cammed cars are more difficult to start in the cold and that you had starting issues (lack of charge on battery).

    You can run the 3.4 with headers on a stock gtp tune.
