Default best cams for a street killer?

i currently only have an AEM CAI and VAFC (not installed)... and before i continue i needed to plan out ahead...

my goal is to be a street killer... when racing, you stay in the high end.... so high end power needs to be an absolute must....when not racing.... i drive like a b!tch to save gas... so midrange is questionable... my R is daily driven and is my only car... so reliability is also a must... $$$ is hard to come by at my age... so it's a factor also...

thanks guys in advance... i needed to know where i'm going before i buy headers, port n polish, etc...

Don't bother with cams if you're on a budget.

To be a street killer on a lower budget, i think some others will agree that nitrous is the best way. Especially if you just want it for a straight line, and you granny it when you dont race.

I agree, cams are not gonna make your car a "street killer" What you want to do annihilate your competition not just get by. NO2 could be the way to go.

Big Phat R's right, if you're on a budget forget NA. Get the NO2 like everyone has said.

wow... i never would have expected that?!?! nos on the R huh? Sounds tempting... especially after watching the fast and the furious... lol...

well a couple of questions... how much does it cost to fill up the bottle and how often is that?

what's the best setup dry? wet? 50 shot? 70 shot?

BTW... could i still squeeze with any of these cams?

what kind of killer would i be with that setup? stang killer?

back to cams... i'm on a budget.... per se..... but i do have about 1500 to spend on motor work...

to add to that.... i know someone selling spoon cams for cheap... that is why i ask... i just wanted to know what others think and also if i'd have to upgrade valvetrain for the spoons
