Default better cam than mine

the cam i have in the motor was planned for n/a but was already in when we switched plans to go turbo

the specs that i know are 204/218 .550/.550 112 center

how much power is this cam robbing/ how much power could i be looking at by switching cams...only wanting to switch cams if its going to be worth the money/power gains

and if it matters this is on a basically stock lq9

Since you have a stock bottom end I would keep the cam you have. I really don't feel it is worth swapping cams for your application. Bob

this winter it will be forged and 80# injectors, but before the season is over we are going to max out the current 60#ers...were at 500rwhp right now getting evertying worked out and are at 60-65% duty cycle, so another 150rwhp or more is in its future in the next few months

That is a mild cam, I don't see the lobe center really hurting it. Bob
