Your talking about cams right? hehehe, I think my cam is small now looking at some of these. TSP 231/237 here also and it seems like a little more rough stock cam really

So 30 more RWHP without the cost of heads is bad why?

Colonel, and what did your car dyno?

With a single, that is a different story.
Is your cam XE-R? that would be my second reason, Very fast ramprates, as a matter of fact Comp rates them as race lobes.
It's just a chance I wouldn't take with a bigger cam like yours. But I'm the play it safe when it comes to motors. They usually last longer that way.

I agree. Sell the 918's and upgrade.
You will be happy in the long run you did.
