dont mean to sound like an *** but, YEAH, there is! That is why so many people, including me, do replace the cam. There are more threads here than you can imagine on cams and which one to get. I put down 373rwhp/375rwtq with the cam I have in the sig with stock manifolds(intake and exhaust). i just had a cutout and a K&N intake.

Just make sure you put in appropriate springs with your cam, otherwise...your motor will be done for.
