Anything wrong with yours? If not they are good for 10-11 sec easily. These cars are not real cam sensitive.

if the stock cam is ok use it. if its trash you can go with a nice 206/206. that should work well for you

I second the 206/206,only I choose it over the stock cam.

The 206/206 makes great torque in a 3.8 and will give you a few hundred RPM more pull.

I say do the cam. Roller isn't going to make much differnce in power at your level and you could use the extra money for other things IMHO.

I would'nt do the cam, untill you do the heads.

IF you do it, the 206 isnt bad but I prefer the Erson 208 or go 214 for a little extra kick!

are these roller cams ? & could I get a link where I could purchase

 

[Grumpy]

if the cam is fine then why mess with it leave it alone and get the car running

My experiance with roller, is if you recam, go roller.
Rollers are expensive, however, no hi rpm break in & no zddp.
We used to turn new rebuilt roller cam aircraft engines at about 250 rpm over an hour - used an electric motor to turn it.
Either keep what you now have or go roller - nothing about these TRs can in any way be considered cheap.
