: I've been doing some reading about cam shafts and I have to admit that I am more confused than ever.
: Here's the question: If a big name company sells a cam for 158.00 and a generic company like Summit
: sells one for 58.00, which one is better? I checked the numbers and the power band is the same and
: all the numbers match up. I love to save money, but will I be sorry? I am looking for a cam in the
: 1500 to 5500 range and would like to match it to a edelbrock performer rpm intake and 600 cfm carb.
: Does anybody have a set up that worked well under a tight budget? I'd like to spend less the 600 dollars
: on the intake, cam, and carb.
: Thanks
