It will work pretty well with nitrous or N/A. Will probably make 380 +/- a bit with stock heads....

It would be good to run 1.8 rockers on b/c that lift is weak...stock cam lift is .500 haha.

It would run fine NA or spray like ^ said, but not good for forced induction with the 114+4.

DO you think that would have a decent chop for the sound. Looking for a cam I can use LS6 springs on. Mostly looking for sound and cost savings over power gains.

If you are looking for sound get a good exhaust.
