Default Worth swapping out Lethal cam?

Car is currently making right around 560rwhp with WCCH heads, ported stock intake and TB, ARH headers and CF112 intake.

Would you recommend a different cam to make 580-600whp? Anything out there with new lobe technology etc that will retain the lethals driveability and make bigger numbers?

I have a ported fast intake/NW 102 and a corsa exhaust going on as well.

Leave it alone...how is that for a suggestion?

Honestly, you should already be at 580 with the pieces you mentioned.
BUUUUUT if you must and are not afraid of going on the aggressive - then choose our Widow cam or something similar.

Most of our customers (world wide) make around 580 plus with our widow/wcch combo on pump gas. Look around

Thanks,
Carlos

Not sure what Lethal cam you have exactly to compare, but some lobes that make more power come at the expense of being harder on parts and require more maintenance of the valvesprings...there's usually always a trade off, curious what size headers you have?

They use RHE lobes and is tested smd stable. I believe all their cams come from Crane and are on this lobe.

Does anyone know characteristics of the RHE lobe?

Sounds like a good combo, I thought you were using a Lethal Racing cam...the cam you have is a 232/250 113 and makes good average power with decent driveability, not sure what lobes though there's probably not more than about 10hp left on the table w/o diminishing returns which you seem to want to avoid so I'd leave it as the intake will gain you as much.
