The 450 HP you are looking for will not be done on a budget. You will need much more than just a cam

You could get close running a donkey dick cam like a T-Rex or Hellion, but you'll need a different intake setup like a FAST 92 at the minimum. Even that won't get you 450rwhp, but close. A better approach would be a smaller, more useable cam, ported heads, and an intake setup. You'll also need bigger injectors too to fuel the motor for all that extra power. All in all, it's not cheap, but better to do it right once and not regret doing it half ***.

Thx fellas for the heads up. I know it would be cheap to build a dd with 450 rwhp. I've search and search to find a streetable combo within a decent price range and wasn't so lucky. I don't like to start a bunch of threads but might have to post one hp combination and start from there thx again fellas
