Just remember, that shipping from multiple locations can eat you up in shipping costs. When you order from one place, you won't get dinged with the $15-30 in additional shipping per location. Something to think about.

I told him i wanted to make around 390-400hp with some street manners. I also wanted some lope and i wanted to gain low-midrange torque.

The specs are 230/232 .612/.595 111+3

That is a nice size cam with XFI lobes. You will beed Dual springs for that. That cam will give 9* of overlap. Just make sure that you want that aggressive of a lift

BayAreaSS, those specs are similar to an F13. See my sig for an idle clip I made. This was the morning after the install and a rough tune. You are going to like that cam.

haha your cams listed are very similar to the one pat g speced out for me- 230/230 .612/.604 110LSA +2. It uses the newer, more aggressive Comp XFI lobes instead of XE-R lobes.
