::Arnie, I would hold off on the cam until you know exactly what your displacement, compression ratio and cylinder head capabilities would be. It should be one of the last parts you buy. I would also recommend a solid over a hydraulic. What brand of cylinder head will tou use (I'm assuming aftermarket because I do not think a 2.02 will fit a factory head) Since it will be mainly a strip car with a stick, I would not be overly concerned with low end torque. Assuming they would be appropriate, I would lean toward the Xcelerator and the 650 DP.

::Nitrous changes things a little. If you want the car to run great naturally aspirated and a bit better on the bottle, you need to run tighter LDA on the cam. If you want the motor to run decent naturally aspirated and really explode on the bottle, you need to run wider LDA on the cam. Nitrous loves wide lobe separations.

:I have a set of Holley 17* heads.But am looking at some World products heads right now.A guy I know has a set still in the box he'll sell me for 500 bucks.I also have a set of Gurney/Weslake tunnel port heads w/8 Webers.But I'm saving them for another project,maybe a Cobra kit.

Will the heads be ported?
