Default Procharger/Cam

Just wanted to know what kind of power you guys are putting down with a cam only(specs and boost)...the only car that stands out is ls1powers car...pretty impressive...cam/springs installed and tuned is about $1,400...A forged 348 is about $7,500...Don't know if i should wait a few years for that or just do the cam and be done...Will that cam put alot more stress on the internals?? Summer is coming and i'm getting the itch...

Im going to try to push 11-12psi and running alky this summer on the stock bottom end... looking for 600-650rwhp. I hope the pistons will last for one decent run After all QMP and EPP did run 15psi on their stock bottom end with no problems so im hoping i will be the same case with a good tune. By the way, the prices u listed for a cam/spring install and forged 348 are really really high.

The cam and springs didnt cost me anything to put in since i did it my self. The second set of springs was put in by someone else because it was a pain in the *** the first time and it didnt cost that much too, but i would say anywhere between $200-350 for the cam/springs.
