oh, well this just wont do then! does anyone know of a cam that with full bolt ons will give me around 400 at the wheels? i dont really wanna go as big as a Trex, maybe an F13 would get me there? how is the driveability?

First do boltons then do cam, otherwise if you want to stay stock and just add a cam, there is 2 possibilities, LS6 cam or CheaTR cam.
But first bolt ons.
