It's Llyod's cam, I'd give him a call and go over your set-up plans and hp goals in detail with him.

+2..that cam alone should be ok on a well maintained car. With the juice is another story. No telling how the bottom will react.

that cam and i would guess a 125 shot should get you real close to your goal. not sure how long the stock shortblock will last like that though.

i was saying that the cam you asked about should work with maybe a little more nitrous. our cars were set-up very similar and running close to the same times, N/A. my times in sig are with a custom grind. pm me details on my set-up if you would like.

there isn't much out there bigger than the cc503 that is more efficient with stock heads

big cams don't neccessarily = big gains
