Daniel

Not much lope with that cam will be pretty quiet, should gain around 15 to 20 hp.

Well, that cam is pretty darm small. But that may be as large as you can go since you have 1.85 rockers. A bigger cam will have more lift and you might get some contact between the pistons and valves. You could get out custom ground however.

01 Thunder, if you want to hear your cam, just go with a cam witha lobe sep angle(lsa) of 112. And far as hp, Scream went form 242 rwhp to 272 on his 4.8 with this cam and no tuning.
