You should easily make 430 with that combo.

Talk to TR they set ypou up and know more, bottom line with a big cam there is no guarantee you wont have to flycut, you always have to measure. But that setup with a FAST and youll make 460.

Im going to try and have it all together before tx2k11.
im going to get a spec stage 2 clutch. cs motor and tranny mounts.
headers will be here Monday.
with everything i have added up hp wise on a 150 shot it should be close to 600hp! but that seems like alot for just heads cam and a bottle.

is that a number i can expect or am i just dreaming?
im going to push the stock fuel system to its limits then upgrade it as i go.

I've seen a few interesting threads regarding this cam. Interested to see your numbers. How was your ptv clearance? What pushrods are you using? Are you still using stock injectors?

I have stock heads so no need to measure for .615 lift. I dont remember what length pushrods they gave me, but Thunder Racing gave me everything. Yes I am using stock injectors and saw 108% duty the other day so I definitely need bigger injectors. As long as my wideband continues to read where I want it, I'm going to put it off for now as I'm not sure what direction I'm taking the car...the cam was just enough to hold me over until I decide what to do next.

Dealing with Thunder Racing this time around (they are local to me) was awesome. They were all super helpful through the process getting the cam and helping me out of a jam with the install (mostly me not having the tools I needed..lol). This was nice because years ago when they first opened, it was like pulling teeth to get them to pay attention to you if you weren't spending a ton of money.
