Re: Just ordered my new cam what do you think? I do not think it is too much.. I was saying Hmmm because I like the specs.. I think with tuning you will receive awesome #'s. My best advice is to do it right the first time. I have been down the road of disappointments and will be totally happy one day..

Re: Just ordered my new cam what do you think? Thanks Alonzo.. My next setup is going to be forced induction.. I want a bigger increase in horsepower than 12rwhp for the dollars I am planning on spending. I still have to finish tuning my NA package.. I am hoping for atleast 415rwhp with a cutout open and ls1edit..

Re: Just ordered my new cam what do you think? Once the motor breaks in properly and if you combine a cutout plus more tuning then you will see more than 412hp this I promise you and its kind of like a 9 inch you may lose power but your car is now reliable and all you have to do is change the fluid and your good to go but I still say your gonna get over that 412 mark.
