Man give Arun a p.m. in here he is a vendor in here from up north. He has played with more cams in these F/I set up than any one I know plus most if they really have a really kick azz cam will not give it out to other, he is not that way man. Robert

Your current cam will be fine. Its close to a stage two cam that a company I know of provides.....

Put your money on a meth kit or fuel system instead

I agree with 4SFED Z. You should spend your money on springs and a fuel system. You may want to add a large radiator. You will need to consider drivetrain upgrades.

You should be OK then. How are your springs? Be the judge of that. IF they are factory, shange them. Definately look into a meth kit for insurance. Just dont get a meth dependent tune in case the crap fails

If you're trying to eventually hit 800rwhp, you might want to think about going straight to the D1sc.

I think your cam is ok but there are better blower cams like the one i suggested you will not see big #s if you change your cam. boost is where you will see big #s every pound of boost is 25 hp! change your cam and you will see 20 more hp thats all! the most I could get out of my P1 on a 402 was 700rwhp! to see 800 you will need bigger blower it takes a lot of parts and $ to get 800rwhp! good luck! have fun!
