I gained 73 RWHP with my hotcam, when i freshened up the block and installed the cam. Im still running stock heads. I also put 1.6 RR and a tune from (ION) at madz28.com and all supporting bolt-ons. I went 13.67 before the build and 12.48 spinning after the build.

It's a small Cam but it gets the job done. Not too bad of a sound either, you will like it.

i think more like 330-350 with stock heads. I've seen auto's make 320 with a mail order tune. As always Ed Wright @ FastChip for the best tune out there.
