Getting ready to buy a new cam so the motor can go back together. I'm going to replace it with a stock grind but was wondering about the difference in where you buy them from. Pelican has a stock webcam for $130.00, GPR sells an aftermarket or reground cam (their words) for $63.00. Differences? Recommendations? Thanks.

A cam can do lots to liven an engine.
I would ask Jake, Brad & others what they reccomend.
Are you keeping the stock injection? Exhaust, etc...?
