Well hello all ;-)

The engine I am rebuilding is going to the shop tomorrow. Now one of the 
things I noticed as I disassembled it was that one of the cam shaft lobes 
seems to be worn more than the others. Not sure until the machine shop 
actually measures it. So I was thinking about bowing in wonder to the 
wisdom of the list. If I have to buy a cam, why not get one that gives a 
bit more oomph to my 1500. 

So opinions please.

I want a slight increase in performance, but something that is still 
streetable. Nothing radical, nor a Hi-Perf race cam that won't idle for 
crap. Just a bit more. 

In addition I was thinking on the tranny. Spit OD unit (where might I 
find one?) or a 5-speed, if I can find one, local like.

Not real sure if either of those fit in the budget, but thought I would 
do some homework now.

Thanks

Larry
