Holy **** that's light. And im not sure on the cam but if your around 400hp now and you figure 100 lbs for 10hp(meaning they even out) then you double your weight you "should" be equal to cars around 550hp and weight around 3k pounds. (My logic could be miles off but I think its right).
someone correct me if im wrong
