WS6 S475 official build thread.......
You're going to need springs anyways with boost. Denmah picked up nearly 75rwhp with a low 220's duration cam on his turbo fairmont. If you think 60-75rwhp is worth the cost of a cam kit then it will be worth it.
Also the stock cam isn't going to spool as good as an aftermarket cam either.

May want to look into your fan set-up more. Iv seen stock pullers don't work very well at all flipped for pushers and that's why there's pusher/puller specific fans. I know its a budget build but if it doesn't cool and over heats then what's the point?

Nice man cant wait to see this thing going!
I've seen a lot of guys use the stock fans as long as you keep the air dam and a good angle you might be ok. These stock fans are pretty good @4000cfm. I am using the stock as well I would like to say they work great but its winter here so my temps driving are at 167ish so thats not a good comparison lol
Good luck with the build!!
