    Hey everyone, I am kinda lost. I am pricing out my build I am mainly looking for advice.

    I am going to be running a 35R twin scroll on a built 2.5. I am not picky in terms of brands i just want some options and prices.

    Edit:I plan on running 272 cams

    Thanks

    I went with the Crower cams. I think they cost me 450 for the set or something like that, and I'm running a Helix titanium valvetrain with dual springs.

    Not trying to steal the thead, but what kind of gains do you get from cams?

    Alright someone correct me if i am wrong. Dave in your case cams wouldn’t be the first thing i would do. You can always do them but if i remember correctly most guys put cams in when you break the 325-350 at the wheels. What cams do is adjust how much air is allowed in to the cylinders and they also determine how much exhaust is allowed out from said cylinders.
