call up Isky, they have a tech guy that takes every dimension and spec of your car, motor, gears and everything and he will tell you what you hsould go with. Then even if you dont want an Isky cam you know what to look for.

Ok- you don't need to remove the front end- I know that for a fact. You do however have to remove the everything forward of the motor including the hood latch. The alt and such don't need to come off. The heads can stay as well.

You can also call comp cams as well- they are very easy to talk to and will help you out-

Depends, once you start running big mods (cam, nitrous, forced induction) you need to run the highest octane you can find.

cam shouldn't effect fuel much, if you change heads and raise compression yes you need more octane

DON'T GET THE LT4 HOTCAM!!!

I have talked to several performance places that said the LT4 makes power but only at higher RPM's-

Call TPiS and other places- they should echo what I said-
