Maybe I'm just a product of the automotive 80's and am spoiled by the prices for SBC stuff...but I'm looking for a cam for my 3TC and am not happy with the prices. I won't even consider a new cam because of the prices...
I suppose part of the problem is that I'm not really excited by anything forced induction (much like I don't like power windows...).

Ebay is your friend.
I've seen fully built 3tc heads go for under $200 in fleabay, and cams for under $150. Nice ones, too.
I could build a 3tc entirely out of parts found on ebay for cheap, and i'm sure it would haul some major buttcheeks.

I ran an 11.876 @ 127 in a D16Y8 1g CRX for under $2500 total price including car. Definitely not something i'll try again, the car was the scariest piece of E36 M3 i've ever driven.
I doubt it was even making 300whp.
And then i was the idiot that after i almost killed myself in THAT car... decided it'd be a GREAT idea to build a 2g CRX HF with a a high compression LS Vtec on spray! I'm still to this day not sure which was scarier. The LS Vtec dyno'd over 200whp n/a, and i had a 125 shot on it. I only had the balls to drive that car for about 2 months before i parted it out. I wouldn't have sold that thing to anyone for any amount of money and kept it on my conscience.
D-series cannot hold up to B-series unless you throw a LOT of money at them. Your average built D-series will get eaten alive by a stock B18B with an ebay kit and an FMU.

I thought it was against Puerto Rican law to rebuild or race any engine except for rotary's?
