. don't worry about that dude and his "mystery" cam. Think about what sort of power band you want your car to have, research this forum like crazy, and call some of the sponsors to get their input, like Texas Speed or Thunder Racing. Plenty of head/cam combos will get you 450 rwhp with a cheap set of pacesetter headers and a tune.

. But it is small, I only have a few vids of her, the vid with the flyby's the car is missing some so it doesn't sound so good. I'll have more vids soon, she is down right now for new head gaskets, then the spray goes in 
. Enjoy the vids.My dyno video-

I just thought you having all that Torque made my mouth water. I could only muster 460 rwhp and 420 rwtq. I'd give up 10 hp to pick up 15 tq any day. I'd be interested to see the SAE corrected dynograph for your car. Our cars would be a good race until we hit TRIPLE digits. Out of the hole you'll runaway from me then I'll chase you down and flyby. < JMO > I hope you have viewed my Vids: the 190 run, whooping my boy cgillies86's *** (sorry Chris) and getting crushed by Fadi and his 06 c6 zo6. With all that being said thanks a lot for considering my comments important enough to be a great compliment.

I want that to be my startup sound so I can hear it everyday...

I agree with your predictions, my gears would give me a slight advantage down low but your better power and weight would start walking.

Take a looky at Texas Speed's Magica Stick 4 and their PRC heads.
In January 2007 issue of GM High Tech Performance, they gained 128hp to the crank
I'm not sure how streetable it'd be, but that's a lot of power from cam and heads.
They gained 82hp from the cam alone.

I haven't seen too many H/C cars with such a nice split. I'm interested to see the dynograph as well, if only for ***** and giggles since we don't have the specs.
