Very few get to the official 500 rwhp mark. It will not be a small cam either..and almost every mod - very optimized combo!

How old are you guys?Did you even read the post.I SAID WHAT IS THE SMALLEST THAT YOU HAVE SEEN MAKE THAT KIND OF POWER!It could be a 260/265 if everyone elses cam was bigger then hey the 260/265 would be the smallest youve seen. I never said you could make 500 with a small cam I said what is the smallest you have seen . SORRY I guess that was too much to ask.Maybe some one who has some experience will chime in.

This is no such thing as a "small cam" making "500 rwhp". The 500rwhp cars are few and far between, and they sure as hell aren't running small cams.

Again the OP never said a "small cam" he said the smallest cam seen that is a big difference!!
