One thing I have seen alot of people do is NOT get a bigger cam.
So whatever you look at..... look a little bigger!
Oh yea, gas mileage will be gone if the car is a shaker!

I have a 224/228 .581/.588 on a 113 and man it drives like stock but with tons of power under the curve.

I highlyyyy recommend this cam for DD. East Side Performance has been recommending this cam to almost everyone.
