Need more then that. There are many types of edl. intakes. Many diffrent stock heads...

Is there any reason your replacing the cam? You going to have to choose if this car will be a street, street/strip, or strip only engine. Also how much money your spending on this.

I think you need to find out a little bit more about your engine and what it has done to it. Do this BEFORE you go out and buy a cam... otherwise you just won't be as close as you could be towards the perfect cam. Im not trying to put you down here but this really is important. To make good power you have to have a good combo.

What makes you think the trans is shot? It also seems werid it came with a th350 most 400 I know have the th400 behind it.
