Why is it that you guys have a hard time believing you can reach hp above 350 with stock manifolds??? It seems to me that there are enough people out there that do it ...

I've seen it on MTI's site - it is the C2 cam. I am currently trying to decide on a cam myself. Thunder Racing has a 224/224 with a little less lift and shows a dyno graph with it as well. It was around 400RWHP with headers and most bolt on's but stock heads I believe.

Anyway I am shooting for 400-450 RWHP with this cam and some "custom" heads , SLP LT's and ORY - but I'm looking for some neagtive feedback on this cam if possible???

many people have posted 400 rwhp graphs with the "little" 224 cam from Thunder.

There should be no reason unless you have tuning issues to hit about 370 to the wheels w/o headers and exhaust.

Bigger does not necessarily mean better.

Don't be persuaded by people who love their max effort cams. I'd take a small cam with more area under the curve with less peak hp than a cam that has to "wake up" at 4-5 k and spin all the way to 7 k to make its power.
