Comparing my cam to other cams from speed shops it's about the same size. Like the Raptr and Ms4 cam. I want a cam only set up with maybe some gears. 4.10s. PLEASE HELP

you shouldn't have any issues I had the one below it the XER281HR in my LS1 and had no issues. Also it was a blast. Also, that cam is identical to Horsepower Engineering's S cam if you want a little more info on it.

You already bought the cam it looks like. It's usually recommended to ask questions first than buy after you do your research. Since you're doing it backwards just throw it in

Do you have any other bolt on like headers, intake you won't see all the cams potential with out these, thats my .02 cents.

I agree,going full intake and exhaust would make any cam breathe alot better. "other than an awesome tune"

Yeah, that cam will do well with supporting mods. Regardless there will be a power jump over stock. I assume you are running a T56?
