Its a good cam and will give you a nice advantage on the top end...if you bump up the rev limiter you will see more power...

 

what kind of gains would i be looking at?

 

I got 35 rwhp will a similar cam/stock heads..

with NO cats

 

whats the web address for mti? this is a stupid question but....right now my internal engine is stock, if i get the t1 what else do i need to get(lifters,ect.)?
