    you dont need a cam to run low 13s. rockers will get you there easily and they are cheaper, easier to install, and easiest on the valvetrain.

    rockers, headers, ~3.2 pulley, maybe a ported blower/throttle body, and the rest of the supporting mods with a good tune will get you in that power range. that will get you there if you can get a good launch.

    3.2" on a L36 block will be kinda intense... I'm not expecting to run lower than a 3.4" with everything I'm doing.

    didnt realize we were talking an l36 block. get a cam if you so desire, but there is no reason for one if you only want to go lower 13s.

    If you are wanting i'd get an XP. I have/had one and I liked it. That cam will put you in real low 12's with an intercooler.Without...maybe 12.7's?
