nothing is wrong it runs good im just to a point where i want to try and get more power, and i wasnt really impressed with the way the f14 sounds it doesnt really have a rough idle like people were telling me, my tsp 231/237 sounded alot meaner

Well if you want more power i suggest doing something different then just the cam. Why not Try the Fast 90/90 Setup you should see significant gains with that, Or why not get some spray. Just my .02

I would personally keep the cam/head setup you have and look to do something a little different.

The guy that notched my pistons has a stock cubed Vette. The FAST 90/90 gained 3 HP on his Dynojet over the LS6 intake. Only worth it on big cubed engines.

The TPIS modified LS6 intake and oval throttle body makes approx. 5-7 horsepower and torque across the entire rpm scale. It works best with head and cam engines and strokers. I have used this intake before on my old 383. I dynoed the car before and after the intake change . Also, I think the cam you are using now is fine. If you had a 112 LSA or lower, your idle would be bumpier. With an automatic, I would stick with what you have.
