    10.5-10.6, some of the head chambers are a little different

    If you have the coin, I say run a hydraulic roller cam. Otherwise, you have all the info from the beginning of this thread. Plenty of good cam choices. The 413 may be a bit too much for you. It's a subjective thing though.

    With you having a manual you are at a big Advantage so you have a lot more choices to go for so it's up to your brakes and tolerance.

    Since I plan on driving this car a lot, im thinking of going with the TA 284/94h or the 288/94h. On the crossmember, it had already been painted and ready to go, but I may still mock it up and see how much change that I would have to make. I really loved my headers, had them for a long time, and there already coated. I had ran them before but with a th400.

    That is a much bigger cam than the OP wants. Power Range is 3500-7000.

    I don't see the 284/94h listed anymore on TA,s website, so it will probably be the 288 instead

    I called him and left a message and got an email back within 2 hours, keep in mind he's never heard my name before. Maybe luck of the draw. Give it another shot Ethan

    I would call Jim Weise at Trishield Performance. He has built more Buick motors than most anyone. Or PM him.

    Larry can you please post the link as to what cam the 113 you are referring to? Judging by the description you gave that's the type of cam I would like for my build.
