    go the lowest duration you can while still giving you the power you want.Yes 272 degree cams will be ok, but you'll get annoyed at the lack of torque below 3000 rpm. 264s will still work with the standard ECU, but give you some more midrange, not hurting you bottom end so much. It's always a compromise, and on the street, the smaller the better for driveablility in most cases. For drags, track, etc go as big as you like.

    If you're on your P's and you don't want to be noticed, leave it stock....Then again, the exhaust you're probably going to put on there is going to cancel out any "lumpiness" at idle with a big drone that the cops are gonna love anyway
