Default should i buy a new cam?

my car is setup as my sig states, but i just bought a set of PRC Stage 2.5 heads from a member on here. i know my current cam will work just fine and probably set me over the 450rwhp mark with these heads, but i was just curious if i should swap cams "while i'm in there."

any of you cam guru's have any suggestions? maybe for a custom grind? thanks...

I think your cam looks like a good one but I would figure up the dcr and make a decision based on that. Also it would depend on what lobes your current cam has.

i'm not sure what lobes it has it's Speed Inc.'s SI5 cam. i have the card and either i'm looking at the wrong parts or it doesn't show which lobes it has. it's on a 110* ICL. it says it's Comp's grind #3725R / 3728R HR112+2...if that helps any...

I think your fine with what you have. Although you sig says 417 RWHP and you trapped only 111 with a M6? Have you had that looked into? Or maybe you just a bad driver LOL JK bro. Seriously, with 417 ponies and a M6 you should be trapping at least 115ish. I hit 116 with 381 ponies. Just a thought bro. That is a very, very good 60' though. Which also makes the 111 seem weird to me.......

that 111mph was in Tulsa on ET Streets. i've trapped 116 at our shitty track here on ET Street Radials. didn't get to make it back on the biased plys though before the track shut down for winter....tranny problems....
