New cam from Absolute Speed on the way.. I decided my tr224 just wasn't enough power. Go figure 
. So after reading Steve McQueen's post on his Absolute Speed's head and cam package making 440 rwhp through a 12 bolt, a light bulb went off in my head. Who else to decide on the best cam than Jay himself. Since he ported my intake, tb, and did the heads, he alt to know what would be the best cam for what I want. So I am getting basically what Steve has. 230/236 .575/.575 on a 114. Also he is going to put a little advance (I believe thats what he said) to bring the peak power band down a little. May be Jay will step in and confirm those numbers on the lift side.
And to go along with that, swapping the cats out for some off road pipes. Should be a nice increase throughout the power band. You gotta love that man.

I could see you picking up 20 RWHP with the cam alone, then another 10 or so RWHP from the cat being removed, so you could be near what Steve is putting down. I REALLY want to bolt a set of heads on my car and see what it picks up, those AFR's ported by TEA look like they flow decent

30 hp gain would be great!

Never heard that, if you plan to run cats, tune the car with them on, if you plan not to run cats, of course tune without them on 30 HP does look VERY attainable dude!
