Re: Street Cam

I think the max 1 is avery good street cam , but any cam with 220 deggs or less and 350 lift works well. Here you have max torque in the driving range and the mileage is pretty good

A Toyota steering from the 70;s has the inpit shaft to the Left of the output shaft. Giving moore clearance to the exhaust manifold in the early cars. Not very expensive.
