Nice numbers for a baby cam. Add some LT's and get that thing towards 370-380.

Not bad numbers for the cam. Just curious, why did your dad pick the cam for you car?

nope dont get the catback waste of money if you already have a cutout...i have the stock catback on my car with a cutout...adding a catback might get me 0-2hp when the cutout is open...

i used to have a CC custom 224 / .558 / 108 +4 in it with these same mods. car loped like crazy...died randomly in the summer while running the A/C...etc. it was mean but had driveability issues. i had to have my motor rebuilt last year and since he was paying he decided on a cam that would give me some power but also keep stock like driveability

Believe me i want a bigger cam...and will get one later on

I would put the lts on there, and you could add a catback, but its already been said that if you have a cutout there really isn't much point unless you just want a different exhaust note. Some lts and the cutout open, I don't see why you couldn't get close 380rwhp.

How about you post the graph up. That cam wont have the top end (>5000rpm) of a 220s cam, but it will make more usable power up to 4800rpms or so.

Nice for a tiny cam! Like everyone else said, grab some LTs but don't worry about the catback if you're running the cutout open. Makes me wonder how I'm gonna pickup (of IF, rather) when I throw my new cutout on!

Most have said that the gain from mac mids to Lt's was minimal...
