hey all after researching and researching i finally figured out what i wanted to do. Well first of all i have a 90 spd lx and i wanted to get my H/C/I done
this is what i have in the garage:

afr 165's
edelbrock performer rpm II intake
lifters
edelbrock 70mm throttle body and egr spacer
pushrods
all the bolts and gaskets and stuff
my question is what would be the best CAM for this car
i want it to be street legal in CA and i will drive it once on the street and mostly all weekends..
also , im going to purchase my #24 injectors today also a maf..im thinking 73mm would be good??
can anyone link me to a good website with the best price

also a question i have is what roller rockers should i go with?
last, but not least, is there any other little parts i need to get so i wont have to get it in the long run! i want to only do this install once! ..

thanks for all your help in advance!

If you've got the money get a custom cam.

There are legal cams and there are cams that will still pass smog even though they aren't given an EO#. I just use the EO# for the E303 cam when I go in for smog to cover my bases. If you tell them it doesn't have a cam or you don't know what the cam is then they'll most likely tell you to go on down the road. I know a TFS stage 2 cam will pass and would work good with your combo. I know the Performer RPM II intake will hurt your bottom end though. I traded an RPM I to a guy that had an RPM II because it had killed the bottom end power on his NA car. I'm running a blower with more engine mods so I know it will work fine for me.

hmm..your right good idea!...so you think trickflow stage 2 would work really good? ...what roller rockers would be the best also..

It depends on what cam you go with. I'd try to stay in the mid .500" lift so 1.6's on a stage 2 cam. You could also run a smaller cam and go with 1.7 or 1.72 rockers to bring the lift up. Make sure you reinstall all the smog equipment and its hooked up right. I'd also get a good stock H pipe and only run it for smog, then swap out to a high flow catted pipe for every day driving... it keeps you somewhat legal and you have the good stocker put away for every 2 years.

There is no substitute for a custom. Might as well get the most out of Your combo for a couple hundred more buck's [burnout]
