Patrick G spec'd cam. Get ahold of him and he will spec you a killer custom grind. I got a 226/230 .609/.588 on a 111+1 and the cam is plain awesome. Great power throughout the entire range! I havnt got it to the dyno yet, but it pulls everywhere.

Take a peak at the Trick Flow cam in my signature....it isn't putting down some of the crazy peak figures we see from the larger cams, however it makes excellent power under the curve, has a nice loping idle and still retains GREAT street manners.

I am going to recommend the X-1 cam from MTI. I had that in my stock cubed motor and it out performed all of my buddies with bigger cams. I put down 375rwhp and 363rwhp. The torque curve is a awesome. I ran a 12.1 @ 116 with this cam, LTs, 3:73's, and a lid. At the time of the cam I drove my car EVERYWHERE. It still got 25mpg on the highway and about 19 on the street.

I'm shocked at all the guys in here running AFR heads and ported FAST intakes, while still making in the 425rwhp range. Get those baby cams on XFI lobes and watch your gains soar.

On stock heads and intake? That's a gigantic difference.
