Default ah Dangit!!!!!
I dunno what to do...

I'm low on cash but...

can get a new 224/228 114 + 2 Comp cam

or

for $180 less....

I can get a used 224/224 114 with only 3k miles on it, in great condition...

that much of a difference?

I still think you would be happy with the 224. Especially with getting to say a few bucks, thats always nice too. I'm still running untuned & it pulls like a striped *** ape, but I also have heads. I have always heard good things about the 224/224 cams though, thats why I went with one.

I wouldn't count on 400 rwhp right away...but 380 rwhp is achievable. Get all the bolt-ons and you can break 400.
