You mean will you still get 5psi from it? What are the specs of your cam? Lets see if it would be a good cam to use. Yes cam and longtubes are fine to use with the sts kit.

cam specs are....224/224 .561/.561 with 112 lsa

I have read and seen dyno results on stock cars adding about 90-100rwhp and 120rwtq......could I expect the same with the cam and longtube headers running 5psi and what about running 7psi with the methanol injection on the street? The methanol is activated via electronics?

Thanks for the responses

BYARDDOG have you dynoed your car running the kit yet? Iam very interested if your car is a M6!

Your cam will work with the kit, as you really have no overlap which is good. Most car are putting out 420+RWHP at 5psi on stock motors (stock heads/cam). We have seen as much as 480RWHP at 6psi, stock motor.

Yes the methanol system is typically set up so that when you activate it, it sets the boost to high and arms. Then when it sees so much boost it sprays the meth/water. Very nice setup and cools down the intake a lot!
